The depth of this betrayal deepens when his stepsister, Kellen, reveals that Mrs. Tinah illegally hid their late father’s will, which rightfully named Stance the sole heir to the family estate. Desperate for freedom, Stance attempts to escape one night, but the gatekeeper, Gregory, mistakes him for a thief and stabs him multiple times. Instead of helping, Mrs. Tinah and her son Bilbo heartlessly leave Stance to bleed in the dirt, and when they later discover that Kellen secretly treated his wounds and uncovered the truth about the will, they banish Kellen, tie Stance upside down, smear pepper into his gashes and brutally whip him.Stance eventually escapes into the wilderness, where a kind herdsman saves his life and helps him heal. Emboldened by safety, Stance exposes the abuse to the authorities, resulting in the public arrest and conviction of Mrs. Tinah, Bilbo, and Gregory. Soon after, a poetic tragedy strikes when Gregory accidentally triggers a massive house explosion and fire that burns the grand mansion to ash and leaves Mrs. Tinah and Bilbo severely burned. Stripped of their wealth, home, and pride, the broken family is forced to seek out Stance to tearfully beg for forgiveness that he ultimately grants to free himself from the shackles of bitterness.

The Attitude of Gratitude by Gerald Musyoki Paul
In The Attitude of Gratitude, debut novelist Gerald Musyoki Paul delivers a breathtaking, emotional, and redemptive literary journey that explores the raw power of gratitude amid brutality, betrayal, and brokenness. Spanning orphanhood, abuse, poverty, survival, and spiritual awakening, this is not just a story—it is a reckoning with the soul.
Stance, a resilient young man is born into hardship and abandoned to fate after the tragic death of his parents. His new life under the cruel rule of his stepmother, Mrs. Tinah, is nothing short of a nightmare. Stripped of love, dignity, education, and basic human kindness, Stance is relegated to living in a filthy dog kennel, beaten, starved, and shamed daily by those who should care for him. But something within Stance refuses to die—his will to dream. To escape. To live again.
Stance's harrowing escape attempt leads to a tragic stabbing by a gatekeeper who mistakes him for a thief. It is his stepsister Kellen, who defies her mother to save him. Kellen, having suffered in silence under her domineering mother, leaves home to seek a better life. In the dense forests of Kenya, she faces her own trials—lost, alone, and at the brink of death, her survival becomes a spiritual battle. After surviving his near-death experience, Stance is rescued by Kalau, a kind-hearted old herdsman with no children of his own. Kalau’s unwavering generosity provides more than just food and shelter—it rekindles Stance's dreams of education, purpose, and healing.
As Stance finds refuge in his new home and a chance at rebuilding his life, Kellen is swept into the digital whirlpool of social media and a deceptive virtual romance with a stranger named Billy Clench. Seduced by charm and the promise of love, she slowly loses herself in a fantasy world—one that threatens to consume her. Back in the city, karma strikes hard at Mrs. Tinah. A fire consumes her lavish home and all her worldly treasures, leaving her and Bilbo, her son, injured and destitute. Their trusted gatekeeper, Gregory, turns from loyal servant to accidental traitor—and comic relief. Mrs. Tinah is hospitalized, abandoned by her own greed, and forced to reckon with the consequences of her hardened heart.
As Gregory flees with what remains of their fortune, Bilbo is left to wander, searching for meaning, purpose, and a way to save his mother. Through richly layered characters, biting satire, vivid humor, and biblical undertones, The Attitude of Gratitude is a story that dances between pain and poetry. It challenges readers to confront life’s toughest questions: Can gratitude survive in the face of trauma? Is forgiveness possible when the scars are still fresh? How do we rebuild when life has burned everything we once held dear? Mrs. Tinah, once the epitome of materialism and vanity, is unmasked by tragedy. Her fall from grace is a sobering reminder that wealth without compassion is a house built on sand.

The Broken Chains By Gerald Musyoki Paul
A courageous girl. A silenced village. A tradition on trial.
In the hills of Enkashe, Kenya, the drums beat loudest before a girl is cut. For generations, this has been the way—celebrated as culture, enforced as honor. But thirteen-year-old Nia hears something different in those drums: not a rhythm of pride, but a warning. As her community prepares her for the traditional rite of passage, Nia faces a choice—conform or flee.
Driven by fear, love, and an inner flame she doesn’t yet understand, Nia runs. Her escape sets off a powerful chain of events, from village huts to city rescue centers, from whispered secrets to bold defiance. She finds unlikely allies: Salome, a former cutter haunted by her past, and Leah Kimathi, a fierce Nairobi activist determined to protect girls like Nia at all costs.
As Nia dares to break free, others begin to wake. Her mother, torn between legacy and love. Her brother, Kip, who starts a quiet revolution among the village boys. And even Elder Namelok, keeper of tradition, begins to hear the cracks forming beneath her feet.
Told with lyrical power and raw honesty, The Broken Chains is a deeply moving novel about female genital mutilation (FGM), the price of silence, and the unstoppable courage of a girl who says “no more.” It is a story of survival and transformation, of wounds inherited and voices reclaimed.
This is not just Nia’s story—it is the story of every girl who has ever been told to obey, every woman who carries scars in silence, and every community daring to choose change over fear.
