Rising From Ashes to Glory

Finding My Purpose Through Painful Experiences

This inspiring memoir chronicles the remarkable life journey of a woman born as the 19th child in a family of 22 siblings in Lomé, Togo. Growing up in a polygamous household fraught with challenges, she navigated emotional pain, cultural expectations, and personal struggles to emerge as a strong, resilient, and confident individual.

The author reflects on her experiences of living in a household divided by her father’s multiple marriages and the cultural norms of her upbringing. Despite financial support from her father, his emotional absence and the complex dynamics of her family left her yearning for love and validation. Her life took a transformative turn after her father’s death and a near-fatal coma, events that ignited her journey of faith, self-discovery, and empowerment.

Through vivid descriptions of her life in Togo, the author sheds light on the rich cultural backdrop of her homeland, while also addressing the societal challenges of misogyny, religious expectations, and the pressures of tradition. She bravely recounts her transition from Islam to Christianity and how embracing her faith gave her the strength to overcome adversity.

The book is a testament to the power of perseverance, faith, and self-belief. It seeks to inspire readers by showing that, no matter how dark life’s circumstances may seem, there is always hope and a path forward. The author’s story serves as a powerful reminder that our past does not define us but instead refines us, shaping us into the individuals we are meant to be.

This memoir is a celebration of resilience, faith, and the miracles that can happen when we trust in God and ourselves. It encourages readers to never give up and to recognize the beauty of life’s possibilities despite the hardships they face.
