About the Book

Waving in the Wind is a collection of eighteen true-life stories about the lives, loves, lusts, and losses of people in places as far apart and as disparate as Lagos and London. These are narratives of people confronted with complicated choices as they grapple with the realities of life in these often bewildering times.

'Living the Dream' recounts the challenges and disappointments of a first timer's attempt to publish a book.

'Bridge Over Still Water' consists of three short stories about a young woman who refuses to be swallowed by the daily problems which come with amputation; a woman who takes a risk by letting another woman carry a pregnancy for her; and a rich young black man who marries a white girl for love.
