A Soldier's Spouse

I am a lazy reader but not with this book. It usually takes me a few weeks to finish a book but this one took 2 days. A most captivating true story. An amazing account of a young widow's trials and triumps. This woman should be on talk shows and share her experiences. Oprah, where are you? We can all learn to survive in honest ways despite any hurdles along the way. SHE PROVED IT. Single parenting made easy. This is the first time I have unreservedly given a book FIVE STARS. Viva Regina. A true jem of humanity.

Unbroken Spirit

This book is indeed a commendable commentary of immense historical importance. It captures the early years of Nigeria through its turbulent years. From the acknowledgement, we meet a plethora of people she has met in her life and who have impacted her in one way or the other, folk with whom she is "immensely pleased," to whom she is "eternally grateful," and without whom "my life would not have made interesting reading." From "fabulous … Dad and Mom, Anthony and Maria Aniagolu" and her sisters and brothers ("my best friends, my strength and my support"), we go through such prominent VIPs as Justice Belgore, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu ("the consummate intellectual, who has taught me the importance of conviction, as the very essence of a worthy life"), Bishops Anthony Makozi and Anthony Gbuji (Bishop of Enugu), Dr. Okwy Nwodo (ex-PDP scribe), Oba Oladele Olashore, Brig. Gen. Sule Ahman (Rtd.), Justice & Mrs. Eze Ozobu (President-General of Ohanaeze), Col. and Mrs. Lucky Torey, cousins, friends, and lastly but by no means the least, "my little Angel on earth, my special gift from God … my daughter Ola."

But the book is about Loretta Ngozichukwu Aniagolu, her early days, her delights, notable national events and how the family coped, eventful encounters, and almost everything there is to know about her. The very first lines say it all about her imaginative style: "Out of a family of ten children, I emerged as the fourth of the fifth. That is to say the first of five daughters, after three sons. The fourth child in a sequence of ten! An interval in a succession of males!"

Shackles of Love

Enter the twilight world of Hollywood, a world built on illusion, fantasy and passion ... a world where everything and everyone has a price. From the tender and innocent LaKita and Precious, to the man-eater "Gift" who vainly seeks to heal a lifetime of hurt by making men pay for what others give for free.

Beautiful young and sexy females are recruited from the college campuses and other hot stops all over America. Often plied with drugs, alcohol, and the lure of non-stop shopping in the luxurious boutiques in Beverly Hills, New York, London, and Paris, with a long list of bogus movie contracts, record deals, and modeling contracts that never came.

Half of a Yellow Sun
By Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

With astonishing empathy and the effortless grace of a natural storyteller, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie weaves together the lives of three characters swept up in the turbulence of the decade. Thirteen-year-old Ugwu is employed as a houseboy for a university professor full of revolutionary zeal. Olanna is the professor's beautiful mistress, who has abandoned her life of privilege in Lagos for a dusty university town and the charisma of her new lover. And Richard is a shy young Englishman in thrall to Olanna's twin sister, an enigmatic figure who refuses to belong to anyone. As Nigerian troops advance and they must run for their lives, their ideals are severely tested, as are their loyalties to one another.

The Stream Never Dries Up

By Chike Momah
ISBN: 9781436321419
ISBN10: 1436321417
Publisher: Xlibris Corp
Publish Date: 2008-06-30
Binding: Paperback

The Stream Never Dries Up
is a special work based in and dedicated to the New Jersey Nigerian community, "with whom my wife, Ethel, and I shared a decade and more of fellowship…." The story is simple and straightforward and reads like a Nollywood movie. It was the 1980s. A Nigerian comes to America to study. He does what his mates are doing, socially and academically. By the 1990s, the sweet dream of heading home to a posh position and loads of money has become mere hallucination. He goes to Nigeria and marries a layaway wife who eventually joins him in Somerset, NJ. The story then takes a life of its own. As in Nollywood movies, things take terrible turns and someone dies. Farther down the lane, everything works out beautifully.
