Description
n the Ghanaian culture, a marriage is considered a contract relationship between two families. It begins when the man who has found the “beautiful flower” tells his parents, gets their approval after the parents investigate the woman and her family, and asks them to make his intentions of marriage known to the woman’s family. In the Akan language spoken by the Ashantis of Ghana, this rite is called Kokooko (Knocking). The terminology “knocking rite” is derived from the Ghanaian tradition of respectively knocking at the door before entering someone’s house.
As the saga continues in this second book, Michael thinks that it is time to perform the knocking rite because Rachel turns eighteen soon. Will Rachel agree to take their relationship a notch higher than they are and receive her father and especially her grandma’s blessings?
