Klappentext

Gold Coast, 1851. Adwoa Ayebea wants to read and write like her friend Offei, but tradition says school is not for girls like her. When that barrier finally breaks, she seizes her chance with everything she has. By her final year of middle school, her brilliance has carried her further than anyone expected. A national recognition for her writing and a trip to England that changes how she sees the world. But when she returns home, the life she left behind is gone. Feeling lost, Ayebea accepts an invitation from the English woman who welcomed her to London years ago. It is a chance to begin again. There, when she is not looking for it, she finds love. But to choose love, she must give up everything she has worked for and all she thought she wanted. Is love worth giving up everything else?
