Not Born to Live: Return of the Godly Stranger (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781952269226)

Two stunning lookalikes create a stir when they accidentally meet again at the matriculation ceremony of their sons at Mount Zion University in Abuja. As soon as they see each other, they recall they met eleven years earlier under equally strange circumstances.

One promptly goes for the left ear of the other to confirm the presence of an unmistakable scar, a birthmark deliberately left there by the midwife who delivered them in order to distinguish one twin from the other.

They introduce themselves and render their separate accounts of the events that first brought them together. Curious admirers ask, "Are you twins?" But they can't answer because they don't know

All they can do is stare at each other incredulously each time someone asks the question. They wonder who they are and why their paths keep crossing. Unknown to them, they were not born to live, but God was in the mix.

Not Born to Live is:

... a stirring story of prostitution and foster-parenting.

... a strong advocacy for child rights.

"The beauty of the book is in the steps taken by the lookalikes to discover their identities, and the discovery, coupled with the circumstances that surround their birth, will no doubt justify the suspense the reader experiences." - Professor Oyeniyi Okunoye, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria
