THE SYNOPSISSAVED BY CHANCE is Kevin’s debut book for children. The story explores children’s rights and responsibilities through the character Amuriodo, a deaf-mute child. Amuriodo’s parents, overwhelmed by societal stigma and shame over their son’s disability, make the heartbreaking decision to confine him with a strong chain—like one used on a dog—to hide him from the community.His younger brother, Vulimu, who is not disabled, receives normal care and attention. As time passes, Vulimu and his friends play near the hidden cage and, out of curiosity, peep inside. They are shocked to discover Amuriodo chained like an animal. The children quickly report the case to the area chief, who relays the matter to the nearest police station.The police arrive with sirens blaring and arrest Amuriodo’s parents. Realizing the gravity of their actions, the parents—along with Vulimu—ask the community for forgiveness. They are eventually pardoned, and Amuriodo begins receiving proper care like any other child.Transformed by the experience, the parents become passionate advocates for disability awareness. They travel within the community teaching the importance of loving, supporting, and protecting children with disabilities. Their efforts are later recognized and rewarded for helping to end stigma and promote inclusivity.
