What an unusual little gem. The is the story of a little girl named Fatima. Even though she was a sickly child, contracting malaria all the time, she loved life. She enjoyed hanging out in trees and looking up at the stars. She loved her family and her simple world within. Then she finds a box. It is not an ordinary box and her simple life is changed forever. No longer with a family and not able to remember her name, she now goes by Sankofa. She is known to everyone around as Death's adopted daughter. Many fear her. She now wanders from town to town searching. A child still but one that has to grow up fast. Will this be the only life she will know? Will she be cursed to wander and constantly feared?
A touching story that makes you feel for this little girl and the journey she is taking.
