Summary:
After an affair with her neighbor's spouse, Essuman becomes pregnant with his highly anticipated male child. Through a difficult delivery, Nuku is born with a cleft lip, prompting his father to reject the baby. Nuku is further diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Essuman and Nuku are rejected by their would-be family and made into pariahs by their community. She goes to great lengths, from hospital to hospital, dubious medicine men, false prophets, and suffers tragic consequences.
