Feel the love of her family as it is expressed to her in different ways. Sigh, cower, and cry as her innocence is ripped from her. Go with her on the highs as intelligence distinguishes her amidst peers and feel her lows as she struggles to find her place in the world. Triumph with the pre-adolescent Kemi, redeemed by the love of Jesus Christ. Exclaim with the teenager Kemi, as she barrels through school with distinction. Experience joy with the young adult Kemi, as she steps foot into the \"oh, so American\" New York City. And listen to the pitter-patter of her heart at the first blush of love. From close family losses to healing spousal betrayal trauma from a prostitute addict - and yet an excellent life of not only her own admirable feats, but of raising others to the same - this Christian memoir is a juxtaposition of life: of hurts; of deep, abiding love; of death; and of living life to the fullest purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Ibadan, Nigeria to New York City, Dallas, and Minneapolis; from an unhealthy marriage to finding love\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eagain; and from having to leave behind all that is familiar to embracing the new - you will witness Kemi's highs and lows, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand experience the universal themes of resilience and love, with unwavering success in the journey.
