The Havoc of Choice by Wanjiru Koinange
Long held captive by her father’s shadow of corruption, Kavata has spent her life suffocated by political machinations. When her husband decides to run in the next election, these shadows threaten to consume her home. Unable to bear this darkness, Kavata plots to escape.
As her family falls apart, so too does her country. In the wake of Kenya‘s post-election turmoil, Kavata and her family must find their way back to each other across a landscape of nation-wide confusion, desperation, and heart-rending loss.
Koinange explores the long reach and effects of colonization and corruption within the context of a singular household and the disparate experiences of class and clan they encapsulate.
"The Havoc of Choice is a delicate and deeply personal attempt to understand the root of this spontaneous yet organized conflict and to figure out what healing looks like for the people of Kenya" - Champaca Bookstore Library & Cafe
BOY CHILD by Franz Owano
This novel paints a vivid portrait of three men on the famished road that is self discovery.
Boi, a light hearted libertine finds himself fleeing from the memory of a man he barely knew. Battling apparitions of the past with seeming futility.
Ajenda, an ambitiously ruthless man possessed by a yearning to escape his poverty stricken past; makes concessions. Hankering for worldly wealth he runs the risk of damning his soul.Pitching him headlong into a hedonistic pursuit of the idyllic Kenyan dream.
Fred, enraptured by freedom and disdainful of romantic love questions the validity of society's philosophy of life. Demonstrating a mercantile spirit and indomitable will in the face of conformity's influence.
The trio's paths intertwine in an unlikely odyssey. One in which a central thought persists." Isn't the son nothing more than an extension of the father?"

The Interrupted Accountant: My Long J...
Philip Kinisu was born and spent his early years in rural Kenya. He counts among the few who navigated the transition from rural life to a successful world-class career in accounting and business consultancy, both as a practitioner and a leader.
He came to prominence in his successive roles as Partner, Territory Senior Partner and finally as Chairman of the Africa Board in PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) where he worked for more than three decades from 1979 to 2014. These roles saw him scale the heights of professional accomplishments, leading
teams to deliver on myriad technical assignments as well as manage a successful professional services business across sub-Sahara Africa.
In his long career, he positively impacted many; he was not only a role model but also a mentor and trainer. He boasts directly contributing to seeking and implementing solutions to many socio-economic challenges that plague our world today.
After his term at PwC, Kinisu offered himself to serve as Chairman, Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) in Kenya, a role which did not end well for him. The dynamics of that non-providential assignment have doubtless proffered valuable lessons which have been well captured in the book.
Kinisu is a private family man who prefers that his actions speak for themselves. He divides his time between his homes in Nairobi and Western Kenya.

Ego Is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday
Many of us insist the main impediment to a full, successful life is the outside world. In fact, the most common enemy lies within: our ego. Early in our careers, it impedes learning and the cultivation of talent. With success, it can blind us to our faults and sow future problems. In failure, it magnifies each blow and makes recovery more difficult. At every stage, ego holds us back.
The Ego is the Enemy draws on a vast array of stories and examples, from literature to philosophy to history. We meet fascinating figures like Howard Hughes, Katharine Graham, Bill Belichick, and Eleanor Roosevelt, all of whom reached the highest levels of power and success by conquering their own egos. Their strategies and tactics can be ours as well.
But why should we bother fighting ego in an era that glorifies social media, reality TV, and other forms of shameless self-promotion? Armed with the lessons in this book, as Holiday writes, "you will be less invested in the story you tell about your own specialness, and as a result, you will be liberated to accomplish the world-changing work you’ve set out to achieve.”
