What people are saying…

This work is a quietly deep read. Every simple moment, hard lesson, and intimate conversation works intentionally, guiding Nkamji, Nana, Thabiti, Koloina, Seye and the faithful others to maturity and peace. Be still with this book and hold on to these often-unspoken truths.
– Deriise Dowell, Copywriter and Content Strategist

“Not Far From the Truth” showcases the author’s creativity and ability to engage readers with narratives that explore the depths of human emotions. Though fictional, these are stories that pervade our everyday lives.
Readers are taken on a journey of self-reflection and introspection; fear gradually dissipates to give way to courage to face the unknown, to dare to move on using helpful strategies.
