Books on Change & Adaptation

Step into the captivating world of Sophia Mariko, where the pursuit of dreams collides with tradition, and the transformative power of education fuels the fire of empowerment.

Meet Sophia, a determined African woman whose ambitions soar higher than the limits society sets for her. Her career aspirations are firmly in place, with dreams of supporting her family to break free from the poverty she was born into. However, destiny takes an unexpected turn when Mariko summons Sophia back to the village for an arranged marriage.

Women Striving to get out of the “Boxes” where Society Places them

Three standalone novels, linked by one theme of what it takes to jump out of boxes where society has put us? Can a Nanny marry upwards, the town’s heir to a technology firm? Can a billionaire’s daughter marry someone in debt? What if you fall in love but your parents don’t see eye-to-eye?

These clean & wholesome contemporary novels are standalone reads. Come with me as I take you on delightful journeys to fictional residential areas in Kenya—where the streets are wide, mature trees shelter palatial homes, and neighbours never throw stones, because they all live in glass houses.

An Immigrant’s Marriage

How do immigrants establish and maintain romantic relationships in their new country? Welcome to Omondi and Abikok’s journey in Canada. (These two books are for adults only.)  

Abikok, a woman fearful of strangers, never expected to be stuck in the middle of a snowstorm, but that's where she finds herself, stranded in Saskatoon and desperate to make it home for Christmas. Her only option is to put aside her fears and accept a ride from Omondi if she wants to make it home.

Omondi, a wealthy businessman, is fearful of false accusations and has never found the courage to ask a woman out. But when a snow-storm turns their six-hour road trip to Edmonton into three days, they have only one option, pretend to be a couple while sheltering at the home of strangers. What will it take for them to resist the attraction brewing between them in this romance trilogy?

Leave a Legacy, Not Regrets Series

And then one day you remember that as an immigrant, you are unique, with the advantage of living in two worlds, and bridging different cultures. Your shoulders fall on remembering that if you don’t document stories of who you are, your journey and experiences, your grandchildren and posterity will never know who they are, their ancestry, identity. I have made the task easy for you through our series of journaling books with thought-provoking questions to guide you while you document your family stories, a legacy for future generations.
