As the echoes of the Vietnam War fade and the Watergate scandal grips America, three boys at the crossroads of youth and adulthood forge a friendship that will challenge the boundaries of their diverse worlds. In 1974 Ghana, a nation humming with the vibrant pulse of post-colonial promise and multicultural currents, Kwaku, Johnathan, and Jim navigate the trials and joys of their teenage years. Kwaku, the son of an American missionary doctor, carries the weight of expectations. Johnathan, exiled from wealth by the political tides that swept his family from power, grapples with his identity. Jim, a spirited
African-American, seeks a future that honors both his heritage and his ambitions. Their bond, formed in the bustling corridors of their secondary school, faces the ultimate test as they embark on an impulsive journey to the historic Salaga Market. What begins as an adventure driven by youthful defiance unfolds into a profound exploration of friendship, heritage, and belonging. As the paths of these three boys converge and diverge, each will come to understand the price of dreams and the value of roots. Salaga Market is a stirring tale that captures the essence of youth,
the weight of history, and the power of a place to shape the destiny of its people.
