To the world, Bijoux is the obedient daughter, dutifully attending prayer meetings and following the rigid expectations of her stern Pentecostal aunt. But Bijoux dreams of another life, one where she can live freely and be with the woman she loves.

Twenty years earlier, in Kinshasa, Mira also longs to escape her family's expectations. When she falls in love with an impoverished singer, a criminal in the eyes of her parents, her choices will set her on a dramatic path that winds its way across oceans and decades.

Both women will undertake moving and life-altering journeys, through love and sexuality, loss and redemption, to search for what they've always been looking for - home.

Praise for Where You Go, I Will Go: the emotional and redemptive family saga

  • A rich complex compendium exploring the nuances of being Black, Congolese, immigrant, gay and a woman. A story that is thrillingly told. A novel that only Christina Fonthes could have written

  • What a fantastic novel. Christina gains your trust from the first few pages and leads you through the winding corridors of the heart-thumping, finger-tingling story, until its satisfying conclusion. The novel is aptly named for wherever Fonthes's future leads, I will gladly follow. Stunning!
