Eli’s family does not like the woman he has fallen in love with and had a baby with. She is an outsider, and does not live the way they wish her to. So, they find Afi, a beautiful young woman from their hometown to marry Eli and convince him to finally leave “that woman”. This marriage changes everything for Afi and her family, they now have not just financial stability, but wealth. This is the story of Afi and Eli’s relationship. This book started out slow for me, but it definitely picked up until I was on the last chapter frantically reading and yelling out loud.

I am really excited to read more by this author. I felt like the narrator made the audiobook version of Afi more whiny and pleading than I think I would have read her, so I might have to read this over again. But I really loved entering into the Ghanaian culture, which with I'm so unfamiliar.
