A few months ago, my friend Joel Nettey invited me

A few months ago, my friend Joel Nettey invited me to read a novel his fifteen-year old daughter Natasha had written. I did. And… well...wow! When I was fifteen, I dreamt of being a writer too, but with the distractions of life (mainly boys) I kept that dream in deep freeze for another fifteen-odd years.

It’s one thing to have a dream. It’s a whole other thing to have the dedication and discipline to see the dream through. And Natasha did! It was a joy to be at the launch of "Its Your World Evangeline," yesterday and to have the beautifully finished book in my hands. It speaks of the dedication of a young lady, and the value of an enabling environment(parents, family, school, friends). Natasha Nettey's story focuses on teenage insecurities and mental health, and she handles the topic sensitively and with maturity.

My remarks?
The young narrator navigates her external and internal landscape with an honest eye and authentic voice. She skilfully demonstrates the anchoring security of family and genuine friendship on the turbulent ocean of emotional fragility and social anxiety. This is a compelling story, written in a compassionate, masterful hand that tugs at the heartstrings.
Well done, Natasha!

And for the rest of us, teenaged or grey-haired, who may have dreams in deep freeze, or are distracted by (fill in the gap) .... it's thaw time!

Winner - Macmillan Writers Prize for Africa
Rabi desperately wants to be like her classmate Maybelline - rich, pretty and popular with everyone in school. But is that really where she will shine best?

Dear Diary, you're the only one I can really pour my heart out to. I wish I was shorter. I wish I was prettier. I wish I wasn't so tall with these mountain-climbing legs. The truth is, I wish I was like Maybelline.
