Maame by Jessica George
Maddie is the quiet one, the responsible one, the adult. But dramatic events force Maddie to find her voice, and find herself.
Meet Maddie – she’s 25, single, a virgin, still living at home, the responsible one. She’s cares for her father who has Parkinson’s, her Mum spends most of her time in Ghana, her big brother is useless. She’s overwhelmed by the expectations people place on her, and struggles to express herself. But things are about to change for Maddie as dramatic events force her to re-evaluate her life, find her voice and take control.
Maame by Jessica George is a heart-warming and empowering story of young woman discovering herself and her place in the world.
