Short description
An African teenage girl is kidnapped by an American businessman and smuggled into a strange new suburban American life. She must make the ultimate choice: remain with an evil family for a life of luxury and well being, or return to those she misses dearly for the perils of her native home.Extended description
Abena Udate was selling mangos on a humid market day in her Mozambican village when she caught the eye of a wandering foreigner. Kidnapped and brought to live in suburban America, the African teenager struggles with the glaring cultural and social differences of her new life. Abena is expected to play along with her kidnapper's story -- she's just another hungry child plucked from a desolate country and saved by foreign adoption -- or else. As her younger brother Kupela searches for clues to explain her disappearance, Abena must decide whether to remain with a family she doesn't love for a life of luxury, or find a way home to those she loves in a world of despair.Tags
