Introduction

It’s an exciting day in Sayet Village. The chief is giving out title deeds and everybody gets one, except orphan Star, who must first prove her kinship. The vultures are circling and her task seems impossible, until a potential solution reveals itself. There’s never a dull moment in Star’s quest, as she encounters catty neighbours, insidious NGOs and even potential love interests.
