Every Tear That Falls Reveals You: A Dream Weavers Origin Story (eBook)

Everybody on her lane in Kumasi called Precious Boateng the Colonel's daughter. Nobody asked what it cost her to stand that straight.

Her father, an army officer, taught her four rules before she was eight: stand strong, stand with dignity, never let anyone get the best of you, never show weakness. Then her mother's legs began to fail, and the man who could stand in the middle of a war could not stay beside a wheelchair.

So Precious kept the rules. Her aunt gave up her own room and moved in with one bag and a sewing machine. And a girl who had not yet turned thirteen learned to lift her mother out of bed every morning without letting anyone see her shake.

At school they called her Madam Big English. On the lane, the strongest boy dared her to fight. Every day for two years she walked away, until the day someone went after the one person in her house who could not defend herself.

Told by Precious as a grown woman looking back, Every Tear That Falls Reveals You is a story about mothers and daughters, about the women who stay, and about the difference between being strong and being hard.

A Dream Weavers Origin Story. Each book in the series stands on its own.
