Best Before ’09 by Sharon Gwada
Meet Gwas,
The quintessential middle child with the best of both worlds - older siblings to look up to and younger siblings to mentor. He’s the smartest, funniest, and the family’s center of gravity.
Fast forward
Tragedy strikes and he isn’t the perfect child anymore. He still keeps the peace but smiles a lot less and speaks a little softer. Everyone jumps in the wagon and tries to wheel him toward the light at the end of the tunnel, but he’s a boy with a mountain to climb.
Nothing prepares us for what is about to happen
It’s not the end we hope for. And I have come to realize there are two endings in life, as it is in movies, jobs, sports, vacations, children, and books; the ending you want, and the ending you get.

We confront our own myths, ignorance, and entitlements as we watch the chaos of the world unfold within hospital walls.

At 10 p.m. on July 11, 2022, a deafening explosion on Langata Road echoed through the air as a car somersaulted over the tarmac, careening through three different roads before coming to a rest, an overturned wreck. Kimulwon Chesaina’s life ended abruptly, leaving a trail of mourning hearts in its wake. What were the events that led to this calamitous incident?

Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Li...
Born in a small Austrian town in 1947, a year of famine, he was the son of an austere police chief. He dreamed of moving to America to become a bodybuilding champion and a movie star. By the age of 21, he was living in Los Angeles and had been crowned Mr Universe. Within five years, he had learned English and become the greatest bodybuilder in the world. Within ten years, he had earned his college degree and was a millionaire from his business enterprises in real estate, landscaping and bodybuilding. He was also the winner of a Golden Globe Award for his debut as a dramatic actor in Stay Hungry.
But that was only the beginning. The Terminator spawned numerous sequels and made him one of Hollywood's biggest stars, as he had a series of hit films including Predator, Total Recall, True Lies and Twins. He married Maria Shriver, becoming part of the Kennedy clan, while going on to become the Republican governor of California, where he led the state through a budget crisis, natural disasters and political turmoil.
It is the greatest immigrant success story of our time. His story is unique, and uniquely entertaining, and he tells it brilliantly in these pages. Until now, he has never told the full story of his life, in his own voice. Here is Arnold, with total recall.
THE STEPPING STONES by ALEX MIRINGU

Miringu, in simple yet captivating language, lets the reader into the arena that is the murky waters of politics as he traces his motivation to join a career that has long been considered a retirement plan.

The message in the book is a clear one to any youth in Africa and around the world: you can be whatever you want to be so long as you remain focused on your goals. Don’t be discouraged because of your youth. Miringu finds hope in the words of 1 Timothy 4:12- "Let no one despise your youth but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith and purity."
Miringu views the challenges, the failures, the successes and the lessons he picked in his attempts to lead his people simply as Stepping Stones to a greater and brighter future. This is a journey of hope, of courage and of becoming.
