for Abela by Berlie Doherty
From the Publisher
'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 is just a matter of chance. It takes all Abela's strength to survive her Uncle Thomas's scheming to get to Europe, but what will be her fate as an illegal immigrant?
