"Be strong,my Abela." These are the last
words of Abela's mother in their HIV/Aids stricken African village,where it seems that to live or to die,to be sick or to be healthy,is just a matter of chance.
It takes all Abela's strength to survive her Uncle Thomas' scheming to get to Europe,but what will be her fate as an illegal immigrant?
"I don't want a sister or brother," thinks Rosa in England,when her mother tells her that she wants to adopt a child.
Could these two girls ever become sisters?
Is there room in Rosa's family for an African orphan haunted by lions? Is there room in their hearts? Abela is a powerful and moving story based on true life from Carnegie award winning author Berlie Doherty writing at her very best.
