Growing Up, Growing Old: Chronicle of an Ordinary Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781462020799)

Growing Up, Growing Old presents a memoir of interesting life events peppered with insights from author Azubike Uzoka's vast clinical experience and extensive travels. He has traveled extensively in Africa, Europe, the Americas, the Caribbean, and several other countries. Dr. Uzoka was born in Nigeria but later studied and worked in the United States. A lover of nature, he muses in appreciation over the contradictions in life, and yet he has a romance with living, whatever the circumstances may affect his life. He focuses on understanding the significant nuances of his Igbo culture, in which issues like reincarnation, sex, roles, and other social questions are discussed considering the nuances of life in a new globalized world. Witty and often downright funny, Growing Up, Growing Old offers his life story and philosophy presented in an easy-to-read, unassuming style. Whether the narrative focuses on love, marriage, death, prejudice, or some plain human folly, it is laced with lyrical poetry about womanhood, nature, and other themes.
