- “Running from Shadows” is a powerful autobiographical fiction that follows the life of Kibet — a boy born into a world where family should mean protection, but instead becomes his first source of betrayal. Set in rural Kenya and the bustling streets of Nairobi, Kibet’s journey is raw, painful, and deeply human.
From the haunting silence of abuse to the violent separation of siblings, Kibet’s story is one of survival against impossible odds. He finds himself navigating the cruelty of the streets, the loneliness of forgotten promises, and the weight of truths buried by those he once called family. Yet, even in his darkest moments, Kibet clings to something more — hope.
Through emotional reunions, courtroom battles, and a relentless pursuit of justice, Kibet rises from the ashes of his past to forge a new future — one not defined by pain, but by purpose.
This book is for anyone who has ever been hurt, silenced, or abandoned — and still chose to stand.
