Akushika sniffed as she looked out the window, wiping her eyes. She shook her head as she stewed upon the decision she had just made. Did it make sense? Not in the slightest. There was not a soul she knew in Kumasi. Even in Accra, she could barely tell her left from her right. How

So Miss Acolatse has been disowned and driven out of the house. What’s she gonna do? Where is she gonna go? “Yes, Akushika.” “Celina, I… I need help.” “Umm, are you crying, girl?” After a few sniffs… “Nah, nah, I’m not crying right now. I’m… I’m okay.” “What’s wrong, Shika?” “Umm… it’s a long story,
