Growing up in the villages of Cameroon, Central Africa, in the 50s and 60s, family was at the core of everything.

These stories will transport the reader to a simpler time, and provide insight into the lives of the Bakossi Tribe, their origins, their trials and tribulations, and their proud culture... a culture that is still celebrated around the world by their tribes-people to this day.
