On a quest to avenge her riven family and murdered friends, Timneet
Melke leaves behind a burgeoning romance to join the Eritrean
liberation effort. Covert operations and guerilla warfare transform
her into a warrior woman until a chance reunion with an old love
forces Timneet to reconsider her path.
Orphaned Ma'arinet Neguse may have escaped war when swept away to
America, but the turmoil of her past locks her into a brutal battle
of her own. Engulfed in distress after her second miscarriage,
Ma'arinet flees for her life again-this time from a volatile
relationship.
The end of the war brings Ma'arinet back to her homeland where her
world collides with Timneet's. It takes Almaz, the nurse with the
memory of an elephant, to unlock the secrets of their pasts. Will
the encounters bring Ma'arinet closure, or will they leave her
stranded with no resolve?
In her debut novel, Gebre invites us on a journey, or menghedi,
men-ge-dee]. Offering an inspiring message, "Menghedi" reminds us
that when the soul suffers, no damage is ever too grand for the
healing powers of hope.
