Both Nana and Figgy receive scholarships to attend the Hope College in
Ghana’s big city, Accra. Figgy and Nana will have to leave behind the
village and family they love, meet lots of new people and learn new
things. Figgy does not want to go, but Grandma Ama says she must. But
Nana begins acting strange and he will not tell Figgy what he is doing
when he disappears from school on the weekends. When Figgy follows him
one day, to a place that is scary and sad, she must convince him that he
will always be a part of her family, no matter where he comes from. And
she learns that sometimes change is not so bad–especially if you have
somewhere and someone to go home to.
