Life seems almost unbearable when Amma and Kofi's mother leaves them. Left in a strange village with their harsh grand-mother, they are made to feel unwanted and unloved.

They wait eagerly for their mother to return, but as the days pass their hopes begin to fade. It is only when an unexpected visitor comes to the village with a very special message that everything begins to change.

Pauline Thompson writes a compelling story about life in a Ghanaian village, and reveals the joy that comes from learning to trust God in all situations.
