Publisher: Dutton Juvenile, New York, 1993 First Edition First printing. "Weaver-Gelzer has crafted an intelligent coming-of-age novel, set in Cameroun during its struggle for independence (1955-1960). The protagonist, Jessie, is the daughter of Presbyterian missionaries teaching in a remote region of the country. Throughout the narrative, she struggles with her desire for personal independence and her need for her family's love and support. The setting alternates between the boarding school in Elat that Jessie, her twin brother, and younger sister attend, and the college in Yaounde at which their parents teach. In the few weeks before, during and after Christmas, Jessie grows to better understand herself, her family, her God, and her adopted nation. Revolutionary Cameroun is more than a backdrop: the danger to non-Africans is constant and real. When her parents are mysteriously abducted, Jessie faces a future in which all of her hopes and plans are drastically changed. It is a challenge to her faith and to her strength of character, which the girl successfully faces. The author's acknowledgements include a brief description of the historical context in which she has placed her story. There is also a glossary that includes Bassa and Bulu words, as well as colloquial English terms. --Lucinda Lockwood, Thomas Haney Secondary School, Maple Ridge, BC Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc".
