    In 1922 West Africa, Comfort Mensah knows she does not want to spend her life within the confines of a family as her mother has. Determined to pursue a nursing career and find her own way, she works alongside her medical provider father, who also happens to be a leader of a faction focused on ridding the Gold Coast of white colonialists.

He finds Africathe place where his parents first metfilled with interesting images, events, and people, but none as fascinating as Comfort. As he and Comfort fall in love, not everyone is thrilled with their affection for each other.

But as David and Comfort already know, forbidden love is often the hardest to let go, even when the families are enemies.
