Annabella Lorenzo is a free-thinking strong-minded woman. In the late 1950s in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Asmara, Eritrea, when women were expected to follow orders and their biggest dream was to become a housewife, Annabella's dream was simple yet revolutionary-to live life on her own terms.
But, when age old traditions and customs are forced upon her, Bella makes a harrowing choice to live boldly in her truth, but not without surprises, obstacles, and dangerous choices. She embarks on a journey that reveals her past, introduces her to her future, and allows her to evolve into the fierce and independent woman she always knew she was meant to be.
