You Deserved Courage

Twenty years ago, Adjoa lost the future she thought she would have.

When Kwesi chose security, reputation, and the life everyone expected him to build, he left behind the woman who knew him better than anyone else.

Over the years, Adjoa created a life of her own. She built a successful international career, moved across continents, married, and raised a family. Yet one question remained unanswered: why?

Then, after decades of silence, Kwesi reaches out.

What begins as a search for understanding slowly becomes something far more dangerous. Across time zones, oceans, marriages, and memories, two people confront the choices that shaped their lives and the truth about who they became because of them.

Set in Ghana, Germany, Barbados, and the United States, You Deserved Courage is a deeply emotional novel about love, regret, betrayal, forgiveness, emotional fidelity, and the difficult work of making peace with the past.

Perfect for readers of thought-provoking book club fiction, emotionally rich women's fiction, and literary stories about the lives we live versus the lives we imagine.
