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 portrait of a family coming to grips with the complexities of mental illness. A tale of metaphysical passion in which greed, acceptance, and denial are powerfully juxtaposed. An in-depth exposition into the evolving nature of globalization & the dynamics beckoning it to its deathbed. A young woman emotionally calloused by the trauma of her undistinguished past. Outrunning the sins of her mother. Determined to outwit the stalking shadow on her trail. Dueling with the kind of conflict only drugs can create; a social worker is caught between helping the needy and feeding his own ruthless need. A critique of Africa’s lag in comparison to the developed world. Expounding on a fundamental flaw in her ability to amass and transfer generational wealth; with a bold mindset alteration proposed. A reminiscence of love and loss accompanying the encumbrance of compromise. Crowned by an uncalculated betrayal of trust.
Compiled in a unique, appealing, and timeless collection of essays and short stories. A potent intellectual cocktail.

THE WANDERER’S PATH CROSSWORD PUZZLES
HEART OF A PRINCE by Franz Owano
- ISet in a land of mysticism and enchantment, over a millennia before the birth of Christ. This tale is a prescient account of a man’s epic search for himself and his heritage. Plumbing the depths of human love, jealousy and hate. Wrestling with the frightening power of his turbulent emotions. A retelling of the story of Moses. Before he led the Hebrews out of bondage. Before he became an icon of freedom, he was a warrior Prince of Egypt. What would make a man with the world at his feet; exposed to all the trappings of power forgo privilege? Was he galvanized by a crisis of conscience or an acquisition of new identity? All while waging a fierce war within himself-a conflict of choices and future.
