*Disclaimer - I worked on this as Editor*This one landed in my inbox last year, after a call for African romance that we (me and the peeps at Decadent Publishing) had sent out when the Ubuntu line was launched. So this author I didn't know - but who had been following the progress of the Ubuntu line on the Net! - sent us her manuscript for consideration.Set in Ghana (win #1), with strong African characters (win #2), the conflict pertinent to the continent (win #3), there's a hop to Cape Town, South Africa (win #4), and the story took place in a popular location for romances, aka a hospital (win #5).Could anybody say "Grey's Anatomy in Africa!"? I could, and the more I read, the more these characters drew me into their worlds and their issues. What really cinched the deal for me to acquire this book was that Nana Prah did not shy away from throwing extreme conflict at her characters and then forcing them to have to work out through their hang-ups. She never babies them and forces them to face real life like normal, regular people would have to in order to stop merely surviving and getting on the road to thriving.Should you read this book? Most definitely! Think me biased because this is very much like one of my 'babies' (let's consider me the godmother - it's really Nana's baby!) - Read it and you will see personal pride has nothing to do with me recommending this story.
