Ramen is always a comfort food for me, I would eat it every day if I could!
BUT I am super excited about Daughter in Exile by Bisi Adjapon! This starts out in Senegal, and love love Senegalese cuisine! When I was in Senegal I had wonderfully spicy food and beautifully brewed Ataya tea. I hope I can go back someday!
This incredible book just published on 4/19/23 and it’s going to be a must read! Here’s more information about Daughter in Exile!
“Lola is twenty-one, and her life in Senegal couldn't be better. An aspiring writer and university graduate, she has a great job, a nice apartment, a vibrant social life, and a future filled with possibility. But fate disrupts her world when she falls for Armand, an American Marine stationed at the U.S. Embassy. Her mother, a high court judge in Ghana, disapproves of her choice, but nothing will stop Lola from boarding a plane for Armand and America. That fateful flight is only the beginning of an extraordinary journey; she has traded her carefree life in Senegal for the perilous position of an undocumented immigrant in 1990s America.Lola encounters adversity that would crush a less-determined woman. Her fate hangs on whether or not she'll grow in courage to forge a different life from one she'd imagined, whether she'll succeed in putting herself and family together again. Daughter in Exile is a hope-filled story about mother love, resilience, and unyielding strength.”
Daughter in Exile is available on our Amazon storefront. Thank you @harperviabooks for this wonderful book!
