Description
When Jamila and her little sister move into a new apartment, the unfamiliar city sounds leave them uneasy—until their great-grandmother’s stories begin to feel like a bridge to something steadier and kinder. Through memories of life in Africa, the girls learn to listen differently, turning fear into curiosity and distance into connection. Blending family storytelling with a child’s perspective on change, the novel explores belonging, cultural heritage, and the way oral traditions can soothe and strengthen. With Virginia L. Kroll’s warm, accessible narrative voice, the book celebrates resilience and the comfort found in remembering where you come from.
