Beyond Betrayal by Gerald Musyoki Paul is a powerful dramatic novel exploring the painful sting of family malice and the ultimate triumph of legal justice and forgiveness. The story centers on Stance, an orphan forced by his cruel stepmother, Mrs. Tinah, to live in a rusted animal kennel while his step-siblings enjoy a luxurious mansion and university education. The depth of this betrayal deepens when his stepsister, Kellen, reveals that Mrs. Tinah illegally hid their late father’s will, which rightfully named Stance the sole heir to the family estate. Desperate for freedom, Stance attempts to escape one night, but the gatekeeper, Gregory, mistakes him for a thief and stabs him multiple times. Instead of helping, Mrs. Tinah and her son Bilbo heartlessly leave Stance to bleed in the dirt, and when they later discover that Kellen secretly treated his wounds and uncovered the truth about the will, they banish Kellen, tie Stance upside down, smear pepper into his gashes and brutally whip him.Stance eventually escapes into the wilderness, where a kind herdsman saves his life and helps him heal. Emboldened by safety, Stance exposes the abuse to the authorities, resulting in the public arrest and conviction of Mrs. Tinah, Bilbo, and Gregory. Soon after, a poetic tragedy strikes when Gregory accidentally triggers a massive house explosion and fire that burns the grand mansion to ash and leaves Mrs. Tinah and Bilbo severely burned. Stripped of their wealth, home, and pride, the broken family is forced to seek out Stance to tearfully beg for forgiveness that he ultimately grants to free himself from the shackles of bitterness.

The Attitude of Gratitude by Gerald Musyoki Paul
The Attitude of Gratitude by Gerald Musyoki Paul
In The Attitude of Gratitude, debut novelist Gerald Musyoki Paul delivers a breathtaking, emotional, and redemptive literary journey that explores the raw power of gratitude amid brutality, betrayal, and brokenness. Spanning orphanhood, abuse, poverty, survival, and spiritual awakening, this is not just a story—it is a reckoning with the soul.
Stance, a resilient young man is born into hardship and abandoned to fate after the tragic death of his parents. His new life under the cruel rule of his stepmother, Mrs. Tinah, is nothing short of a nightmare. Stripped of love, dignity, education, and basic human kindness, Stance is relegated to living in a filthy dog kennel, beaten, starved, and shamed daily by those who should care for him. But something within Stance refuses to die—his will to dream. To escape. To live again.
Stance's harrowing escape attempt leads to a tragic stabbing by a gatekeeper who mistakes him for a thief. It is his stepsister Kellen, who defies her mother to save him. Kellen, having suffered in silence under her domineering mother, leaves home to seek a better life. In the dense forests of Kenya, she faces her own trials—lost, alone, and at the brink of death, her survival becomes a spiritual battle. After surviving his near-death experience, Stance is rescued by Kalau, a kind-hearted old herdsman with no children of his own. Kalau’s unwavering generosity provides more than just food and shelter—it rekindles Stance's dreams of education, purpose, and healing.
As Stance finds refuge in his new home and a chance at rebuilding his life, Kellen is swept into the digital whirlpool of social media and a deceptive virtual romance with a stranger named Billy Clench. Seduced by charm and the promise of love, she slowly loses herself in a fantasy world—one that threatens to consume her. Back in the city, karma strikes hard at Mrs. Tinah. A fire consumes her lavish home and all her worldly treasures, leaving her and Bilbo, her son, injured and destitute. Their trusted gatekeeper, Gregory, turns from loyal servant to accidental traitor—and comic relief. Mrs. Tinah is hospitalized, abandoned by her own greed, and forced to reckon with the consequences of her hardened heart.
As Gregory flees with what remains of their fortune, Bilbo is left to wander, searching for meaning, purpose, and a way to save his mother. Through richly layered characters, biting satire, vivid humor, and biblical undertones, The Attitude of Gratitude is a story that dances between pain and poetry. It challenges readers to confront life’s toughest questions: Can gratitude survive in the face of trauma? Is forgiveness possible when the scars are still fresh? How do we rebuild when life has burned everything we once held dear? Mrs. Tinah, once the epitome of materialism and vanity, is unmasked by tragedy. Her fall from grace is a sobering reminder that wealth without compassion is a house built on sand.

The Broken Chains By Gerald Musyoki Paul
A courageous girl. A silenced village. A tradition on trial.
In the hills of Enkashe, Kenya, the drums beat loudest before a girl is cut. For generations, this has been the way—celebrated as culture, enforced as honor. But thirteen-year-old Nia hears something different in those drums: not a rhythm of pride, but a warning. As her community prepares her for the traditional rite of passage, Nia faces a choice—conform or flee.
Driven by fear, love, and an inner flame she doesn’t yet understand, Nia runs. Her escape sets off a powerful chain of events, from village huts to city rescue centers, from whispered secrets to bold defiance. She finds unlikely allies: Salome, a former cutter haunted by her past, and Leah Kimathi, a fierce Nairobi activist determined to protect girls like Nia at all costs.
As Nia dares to break free, others begin to wake. Her mother, torn between legacy and love. Her brother, Kip, who starts a quiet revolution among the village boys. And even Elder Namelok, keeper of tradition, begins to hear the cracks forming beneath her feet.
Told with lyrical power and raw honesty, The Broken Chains is a deeply moving novel about female genital mutilation (FGM), the price of silence, and the unstoppable courage of a girl who says “no more.” It is a story of survival and transformation, of wounds inherited and voices reclaimed.
This is not just Nia’s story—it is the story of every girl who has ever been told to obey, every woman who carries scars in silence, and every community daring to choose change over fear.
Why You’ll Love This Book:
A fearless coming-of-age journey filled with suspense, heart, and hope.
Characters who feel real—flawed, brave, and unforgettable.
A powerful message about reclaiming identity, resisting injustice, and redefining womanhood.
Rich African storytelling rooted in culture, resistance, and reform.

Divergent by Roth Veronica
Paperback features over fifty pages of bonus materials, including a sneak peek of Insurgent, an author Q&A, a discussion guide, a Divergent playlist, faction manifestos, and more! In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent).
On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives.
For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself. During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made.
Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen.
But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her. Veronica Roth is the New York Times bestselling author of Divergent, the first in a trilogy of dystopian thrillers filled with electrifying decisions, heartbreaking betrayals, stunning consequences, and unexpected romance."

On his 83rd birthday, a tragic accident kills him as he tries to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakes in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a destination, but an answer.
In heaven, five people explain your life to you. Some you knew, others may have been strangers.

Reckless
Once upon a time, Tracy Whitney was one of the best thieves in the business. Then she settled down and had a child—a beautiful, bright, mischievous boy who was the center of her life. Tracy planned to spend the rest of her days quietly, living anonymously deep in the stunning Colorado mountains, devoted to raising her son. But tragedy forces her to face her greatest nightmare. Now, with nothing left to protect, this superb con artist, jewel thief, computer wizard, and cat burglar returns to the hunt, more dangerous, ruthless, and reckless than ever. The world faces a new terror threat from Group 99, a diverse collection of global hackers intent on the collapse of capitalism and private wealth and the creation of a new world order. When the group turns to violence—kidnapping an American investigative journalist, shooting a British military hostage, and blowing up an international industrialist—the mysterious woman pulling their strings, a wily and wealthy American known only as Althea, becomes the CIA’s most sought criminal. But their only hope of finding her is a woman with a dark and dangerous past of her own. A woman who has also successfully evaded detection by the authorities around the world: Tracy. Convinced that Althea is behind the deadly act that shattered her life, Tracy sets out on a global hunt to flush out her prey. But as she soon discovers, the truth is as elusive as her target. Hampered by corruption, lies, and enemies masked as allies, Tracy will be pushed to the brink, where she must face her darkest demons. All of her experience tells Tracy that the answers are right in front of her—if only she can look at the clues in the right way. Propelled by an unquenchable thirst for revenge, and with the fate of so many resting in her hands, just how reckless will Tracy become when she has nothing left to lose?

Screw It, Let’s Do It Expanded
Throughout my life I have achieved many remarkable things. In Screw It, Let's Do It, I will share with you my ideas and the secrets of my success, but not simply because I hope they'll help you achieve your individual goals.
Today we are increasingly aware of the effects of our actions on the environment, and I strongly believe that we each have a responsibility, as individuals and organisations, to do no harm. I will draw on Gaia Capitalism to explain why we need to take stock of how we may be damaging the environment, and why it is up to big companies like Virgin to lead the way in a more holistic approach to business.
In Screw It, Let's Do It I'll be looking forwards to the future. A lot has changed since I founded Virgin in 1968, and I'll explain how I intend to take my business and my ideas to the next level and the new and exciting areas - such as launching Virgin Fuels - into which Virgin is currently moving. But I have also brought together all the important lessons, good advice and inspirational adages that have helped me along the road to success.
Ironically, I have never been one to do things by the book, but I have been inspired and influenced by many remarkable people. I hope that you too might find a little inspiration between these pages."
