Afia is 16. Tall, slim, and almost invisible.
New in Form 1 at St Agnes Girls SHS, Accra. Every morning before bucket duty, she stands behind the dorm and whispers the words her mother taught her: "Have faith, shine bright, your time will surely come."
But in a school where bells are loud, seniors shout, and some girls laugh at her long legs, those words feel far away.
So she writes. In a small notebook, she writes about a girl who whispers because she is too shy to speak out loud.
Until Esi - the bubbly girl who sleeps on the bunk above her - asks what she is always writing. This time, Afia does not hide it. She shows her.
And everything begins to change.
