Effia wants to marry Abeeku Badu, who is in line to be chief. But to prevent Effia from marrying him, Baaba tells Effia that she must hide the blood from her first period. She knows that as long as people think Effia is premenstrual, she won’t be permitted to marry a Fante man, per tribal customs…  PLEASE NOTE: This is summary and analysis of the book and NOT the original book.   Inside this Instaread Summary of Homegoing :   ·        Summary of the Book·        Important People·        Character Analysis·        Analysis of the Themes and Author’s Style  About the Author With Instaread, you can get the key takeaways, summary and analysis of a book in 15 minutes.
