From the first paragraph down to the last one, I could not put this book down. It kept calling to me. I leared so much about the Trokoski practice in Africa. What Abebe goes through is hard to fathom, but trials and tribulations she went through.Poor Abebe thought because she stole her Aunt Serwa's ring that this was the reason for why her father took the young 5-year-old to a village where she would spend all of her teenage years into her early adulthood.She lived a lifetime in a span of twenty-three years. Bernice told this story in her true poetic fashion, which is why I enjoy reading her stories. They are so heartfelt and you learn so much. I felt what the characters felt, ate, slept and thought. I would love to see this into a movie. OUTSTANDING READ!!!!
