So the Path Does Not Die book by Pede Hollist

Finaba Marah yearns to fit in with the other girls of her age, and nothing will allow her to do that more than the initiation ceremony that her grandmother Baramusu has told her so much about. Finaba's parents' fiercely object to the ceremony, which they believe claimed the life of her elder sister, so one night Finaba is secretly whisked away by her granmother, but before the initiation is complete, Finaba's father storms and brings the circumcision ceremony to a halt. The family is advised to leave their home, and the events that follow set Finaba's life on an unexpected path. 'So the Path Does Not Die' is a touching coming of age story that follows Finaba through her childhood and adolescence into adulthood, from her native Sierra Leone to the new and exciting land of opportunity, the USA.
