Book Excerpt:
"Adedayo is a young boy in 1950s Nigeria, full of hope, told he is on the path to manhood. But the world that awaits him is one of silence, cruelty, and control. Stripped of his identity and forced into servitude, he learns that obedience is survival and speaking out can be deadly.
Yet even in the harshest conditions, he refuses to give in. Beneath the fear, a quiet determination burns; the hope that one day he will be free.
Inspired by actual events, Father Stranger Slave is a powerful story of stolen youth, resilience, and the unbreakable will to survive."
