    "description": "Young Esi Agyekum is the unofficial \u201csecret keeper\u201d of her family, as tight-lipped about her father's adultery as she is about her half-sisters\u2019 sex lives. But after she is humiliated and punished for her own sexual exploration, Esi begins to question why women's secrets and men's secrets bear different consequences. It is the beginning of a journey of discovery that will lead her to unexpected places.\n\nAs she navigates her burgeoning womanhood, Esi tries to reconcile her own ideals and dreams with her family\u2019s complicated past and troubled present, as well as society\u2019s many double standards that limit her and other women. Against a fraught political climate, Esi fights to carve out her own identity, and learns to manifest her power in surprising and inspiring ways. ",
