Makoyah was a good girl from Liberia, living with her parents. She was only a year old when her father announced his decision to move to the USA.

Her father, a poor man, decided to move to the USA to look for money to help their struggling family. He married a woman from the USA, promising to return.

Despite her father's promises, he never returned. Makoyah grew up without her father's presence, feeling abandoned and hurt.

Her mother tried to fill the void, working tirelessly to provide for Makoyah. She was the pillar of strength in their lives.

Makoyah's stepfather was a kind man. He treated Makoyah as his own and brought stability to their lives.

Makoyah was happy for her mother but she couldn't forget her biological father's abandonment. She refused to call him, harboring resentment.

Despite her anger, Makoyah wished her father well. She hoped he was happy, just as she was learning to find her own happiness.
