Mary Ashun's Tuesday's Child is the story of a girl born in the small West African country of Ghana. She has big dreams, a large boisterous, extended family and a tendency towards asking questions that children, especially girls aren't supposed to ask. Boarding school days, interminable church services and a famine that leaves her thin enough to be an '80's model are all narrated with such candid humor that it's hard to believe there were any scars.Now older, wiser, with a family of her own and living in North America, she embarks on a journey back to Ghana. The mission: to make peace. Who with? The answer might surprise you and this is why this is balanced African storytelling at its best!
