Growing up in the same Ghanaian town Selasi and Akorfa are more than just cousins - they're
best friends. The girls share everything: whispered late-night conversations dreams for the
future secrets. But as they enter their teens Selasi begins to change construction a wall
around herself designed to keep everyone away. Soon Akorfa no longer recognises her sullen
withdrawn cousin. It will take many years for their paths to cross again. Their lives may have
drifted in different directions but Selasi and Akorfa haven't forgotten the closeness they
once shared. Akorfa now works in international development as she navigates the challenges of
life as a Black woman and mother in the US Selasi is a successful restaurateur running the
hottest spot in Accra. And when an incident at her restaurant puts Selasi in danger the women
must overcome their differences and face the truth of what happened all those years ago even
if others would prefer them to remain silent. Nightbloom is an irresistible story about female
friendship about the relationships that shape us and the people we never quite leave behind.
