The Coins

HOW MUCH IS “NOTHING” WORTH?

Is it worth four 50-pesewa coins from Ghana? Jude received the coins as a child. Now an adult, he has made it to Singapore as a candidate for a prestigious PhD. He fervently believes academia can save him from his past growing up in Africa, a past of poverty and pain. But far from saving him, his new life seems to be leading him deeper and deeper into conflict. Across the world in Chile, Noemi struggles with depression and loss, and finds redemption through healing other people. Despite her newfound power and purpose, she lives on the edge of an invisible precipice. Against all odds, an uncanny connection forms between these two unlikely friends and changes the course of both their lives. And the coins prove that “nothing” might not be what it seems!
