Definition Of A Miracle

Farida is a software engineer by profession and suffers with cerebral palsy, a childhood neurological condition  that affects movement, posture and coordination.
The writer invites you into the home of Zaara, an 8 years old girl suffering with cerebral palsy in a country where the condition is misunderstood. She shares her daily experience after the family relocated from the UK and the quest to heal her disability via spiritual means.  Its easy to read, has lots of humor and it brings back memories of a typical day in a family from sibling rivalry, to unwelcome relatives, to parents pickering and community scandals.
I could read a few chapters over and over again on a gloomy day and it'll surely bring back laughter. Highly Recommended.

The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives

 'The secret lives of Baba Segi's wives' was my first African writers book I picked up this year. Being another  Nigerian  author, her debut novel, 'the secret lives of Baba Segi's wives' is set in a  Nigerian  village and explores the family dynamics of a polygamous marriage. Baba Segi is a traditional man who has four wives, three of whom are  illiterate . His educated fourth and youngest wife whom he seems to warm to the most is the obvious envy of the other three older wives. On the downside, she turns out to be the one who is unable to take seed or rather the one who manages to expose Baba Segi's lack of functioning sperms. So who fathered the 7 children from his other three wives...... Read to find out. An interesting story of culture,  scandals, secrets and an encounter of modern and traditional beliefs with  humor .

I Speak of Ghana

This book is a must read to all Ghanaians. There's trouble in Sikaman (referring to Ghana). Through citing real life experiences both past and present Nana Damoah addresses the current state of affairs in the nation, saying it as it is - lots of talk with minimal action! He tasks all Ghanaian at home and in the diaspora to contribute to building the better Ghana. Packed with rich quotes and amusing humor, you will want to flip the pages. He concludes beautifully with a taste of Ghana's beautiful tourist sites in the Volta region and yet sadly how the industry seems neglected. I Speak of Ghana is the book all Ghanaians should be "speaking" about.
