What a book! I fell in love with Yaa Gyasi while reading Homegoing, and was super excited when I was gifted this book. Gifty makes you feel like no matter what age you are, it’s never too late to rediscover who you are and work through past dramas. Her story shows that there is light at the end of the tunnel, to ask and receive help graciously, and to forgive yourself no matter what. Also, super happy with the ending!
