There is tragedy in this tale, but it is not a tragedy. Her struggle awakens an inner strength which—coupled with the rituals of radical mothering from her village—lead to the family’s salvation.

Where the Children Take Us is the story of a woman who battled genocide, famine, poverty and crushing grief to rise from war-torn Africa to the streets of South London and eventually the drawing rooms of Buckingham Palace. It paints an unforgettable portrait of strength, tenacity, and love—and is a testimony to the sacrifices Nigerian parents make to raise successful children.
