Set over the course of three summers, a new novel follows Stephen, a first-generation Londoner born to Ghanian immigrant parents, as he chooses a different path than whatâs expected of himâone of music, peace, beauty and freedom. - Baker & Taylor
"Set over the course of three summers, Small Worlds follows Stephen, a first-generation Londoner born to Ghanaian immigrant parents, brother to Ray, and best friend to Adeline. On the cusp of big life changes, Stephen feels pressured to follow a certain track-a university degree, a move out of home-but when he decides instead to follow his first love, music, his world and family fracture in ways he didn't foresee. Now Stephen must find a path and peace for himself: a space he can feel beautiful, a space he can feel free."-- - Perseus Publishing
