THE ONE WHO GOT AWAY and other stor...
Barika believed he was the perfect husband—a good man in a marriage that had simply lost its spark. But when his wife, Wango, became a shadow of the vibrant woman she once was, Barika’s love faded, replaced by contempt. Her tired eyes, worn-out body, and endless responsibilities disgusted him, fuelling his bitterness and igniting a cycle of emotional abuse he refused to acknowledge. Her laughter irritated him, her body repulsed him, and in his mind, she was to blame for everything that had gone wrong. But what he refused to see was the damage he was causing, slowly breaking her spirit with his emotional abuse
In The One Who Got Away, Barika looks back on the moment everything fell apart—the night Wango finally decided to leave. Arrested and forced to confront the truth, Barika realizes the depths of his cruelty and manipulation. As the shorn of his mask "nice guy" crumbles, he must ask himself: Is it too late to change, or has the one woman who could save him slipped through his fingers forever?
A powerful and introspective story of resentment, control, and the consequences of emotional abuse, The One Who Got Away offers a gripping look at a broken marriage from the eyes of the abuser—and the devastating cost of letting love turn to bitterness.

About the Book
In Bulla Sahau, a world where the glint of gold outshines the gleam of integrity, Jamila, the blacksmith's daughter, dares to dream beyond her station. But in a society where opportunities are auctioned to the highest bidder and merit is a forgotten currency, her aspirations are deemed worthless. The powerful see themselves as treasures, while the poor are mere doormats, their lives and futures trampled underfoot.
Dust and Diamonds exposes a community suffocated by a ruthless materialism, where character is sacrificed at the altar of wealth and systemic corruption dictates every fate. As Jamila navigates this treacherous landscape, she confronts the stark reality that in Bulla Sahau, only money speaks, and those without it are condemned to silence. Her struggle is a searing indictment of a world that cherishes possessions over people, and where the pursuit of power leaves a devastating trail of shattered lives.
Can one girl's defiance ignite a spark of change in a society so deeply entrenched in its venality, or will she, like so many others, become another casualty in the brutal game where wealth is the ultimate weapon? This gripping narrative challenges the very foundations of a materialistic world, asking: What hope remains when a society values gold more than the human soul?

The Men Do Not Eat Wings – A No...
Set in Kenya and spanning almost three centuries from the pre-colonial 1700s to the turbulent 1990s, The Men Do Not Eat Wings tells the intertwined stories of eight men from five generations of a Luo family: Nwanji, Oweh, Osewe, Ang’awa, Luka, Boro, Okello, and Sakawa. In 1999, one of them, Luka, a successful farmer and businessman in western Kenya, is brutally murdered.
A poor squatter on Luka’s farm is arrested and charged with committing the crime. But at Luka’s funeral, why does his widow seem to suggest that Luka might have done something that contributed to his death? The answer lies partly in Luka’s recent business dealings and the complicated relationships that underpinned them.
The answer also lies in Luka’s entanglement in sinister tribalistic political schemes that soon draw in his son, Sakawa, and his brother, Okello. But most of all, the answer lies in Luka’s family history and Luo culture – both of which are marked by male dominance, bravery, violence, ambition, and love.
