Nana details his past home. His grandfather Mosi used to tell him stories. Nana was born on the banks of the Offin River and pulled into it. He swam in the river daily. He had a crush named Ama, a cousin who was also named Kofi, and a brother, Kwasi, who won the annual wrestling competition.

In the evening, Nana naps, Momma plays her flute, and Charley reads the newspaper. A Black baseball team scored 11 runs in one inning, the highest ever.

In Charley’s dream, she is the moon and then the night. A white horse runs across a park with a baseball diamond. She turns into the horse and gallops hard, but she gets lost in the dark.
