Jane was right: every flower carries a thorn. Beauty walks hand-in-hand with ache. Sometimes, the sting finds you in silence, only known by the mark it leaves behind.
But I stayed. Rooted. Floriculture became my home, where purpose met passion, and my mission took root: to guide others to their own mountaintops, to help them find truth, not just blooms. I vowed to leave behind a garden scented with integrity, watered with courage.

In The Wake Of Silence
In the Wake of Silence is a heartfelt memoir of grief, family, and fragile faith in the face of loss. When Richie learns—first through a Facebook post, then a phone call—that his cousins Faith and Hope have died just three days apart, his world collapses. As he revisits Faith’s harrowing battle with advanced throat cancer, Hope’s quiet suffering in a wheelchair, and their father’s broken questions at the graveside, he also seeks answers from a doctor about what really fuels cancer and how choices, systems, and silence shape our health. Moving between hospital rooms, graveyards, and remembered laughter, the story becomes a tribute to two inseparable sisters and a call to live wisely, love deeply, and honour God while there’s still time.

By Munai Ndenga
She Is My Mother is a powerful family drama that honors the silent strength of a woman whose life of sacrifice becomes the foundation of generations. Through a tense family reunion led by the eldest son, Jamlek, long-buried truths emerge about their mother, Sophia—her survival of domestic violence, abandonment, betrayal, and her unwavering devotion to her children.
As the siblings confront their past, they also face a devastating present: Sophia is critically ill. At her hospital bedside, painful confessions, forgiveness, and reconciliation unfold. Despite a life marked by suffering, Sophia chooses grace over bitterness and leaves her children with a final legacy—one that calls for the end of domestic abuse, the protection of family, and the building of homes rooted in faith, respect, and love.
When she passes, her children are left not only with grief but also with purpose. Her story becomes their calling to break cycles of violence and silence.
She Is My Mother is a moving tribute to motherhood, resilience, forgiveness, and the power of love to transform pain into legacy.
