“Sisters” since 1975, Agnes and Jo met as teens when Jo was matched as a foreign exchange student with the Boateng family of Chiraa, Ghana. Fifty years later, the two tell their story in a new memoir, interweaving the history and culture of Ghana with meeting new challenges, meeting elephants and chiefs, and even meeting Shirley Temple.
