‘Akorfa, you and Selasi were destined to walk side by side.’

Selasi and Akorfa are cousins, born on the same day in 1985. Growing up in a small Ghanaian town, they share everything: whispered late-night conversations, dreams for the future, secrets. But as they enter their teens, Selasi begins to change, constructing a wall around herself to keep everyone away. Soon, Akorfa no longer recognises her sad, withdrawn friend.

Peace’s newest book takes a keen-eyed look at family, class and discrimination in Ghana and the US. This unique virtual event will give you the opportunity to hear Peace talk about the importance of female friendship, the relationships that shape us and the people we never quite leave behind. With a compelling exploration of memory and forgiveness, this event will be an affirmation to the strength of female bonds. Make sure you tune in.

“Peace Adzo Medie is the doyenne of the emotional plot twist. Just what you’re sure you’ve figured it out, she reminds you there are two sides to every story.” Chibundu Onuzo

“Touching, bold and thought-provoking, this story is one everyone should read.” Onyi Nwabineli
