»Sei bereit, dich in Maddie zu verlieben – ich hab's getan!« • Der große New-York-Times-Bestseller Ihr ganzes Leben lang wurde Maddie Wright gesagt, wer sie ist. Für ihre ghanaischen Eltern ist sie Maame, diejenige, die sich um die Familie kümmert. Die in die Mutterrolle tritt. Die Betreuerin ihres an Parkinson erkrankten Vaters. Diejenige, die den Familienfrieden bewahrt – und die Geheimnisse. Es ist Zeit für sie, ihre eigene Stimme zu finden. Als sie endlich die Chance bekommt, von zu Hause auszuziehen, ist Maddie fest entschlossen, die Frau zu werden, die sie sein möchte: Eine Frau, die einen knallgelben Anzug trägt, mit Männern ausgeht und sich mutig ihrer Chefin entgegenstellt. Und die nicht all ihre Lebensentscheidungen googeln muss. Doch dann passiert etwas, das Maddie zwingt, die Risiken einzugehen, denen man sich stellen muss, wenn man sein Herz aufs Spiel setzt. »Maame« ist so unglaublich lustig und tiefgründig wie seine Protagonistin. Es ist eine unvergessliche Geschichte darüber, endlich die Heldin des eigenen Lebens zu werden.
