At 25, I finally decided to write this book, after two unsuccessful attempts, one in form two (2012) and the other attempt after form five (2015). Both attempts happened after a strange encounter in life. Both encounters were horrible but if there's anything I picked from it, I love me a challenge, it is then that I think, it is then that I come up with ideas I didn't think I had within me, it is then that my creative juices flow. You know what they say, third time is a charm. Let's go again, this book is raw, but let's worry about perfection another day. At this point in my life, this book is my legacy, and my purpose. It depicts real life experiences that showcase perseverance, resilience and overcoming. Most people write memoirs or biographies when they are older, successful or somewhere in life, but this is different, I am not even close to achieving what I know I am capable of achieving, I just want this story told, and that's exactly what I am doing. If one thing should be obvious, I am so proud to be Ugandan, it is even incredible to be East African, but oh boy, what a time to be an African. Our stories have to be told, with zero filters and shame. Who better tell these stories than ourselves. Enjoy

Broken fathers stole from me the chance of love, hope, and true happiness. All I knew was being wild to fill the void, Partying when I wanted to, Cursing when I wanted to, and Living for myself and the world. Until I met him, A messenger from God to me, "Are you religious?" I blurt out. Alpha smiles shaking his head, earning a frown from me. Then why does he want to say Grace? "I am a Christian, Emily, not religious." My frown deepens. "Isn't that the same thing?" He shakes his head. "Religious tend to depend on religion but I'm a Christian because I depend on Jesus Christ." I'm puzzled, lost like a fish on the ground. "Who do you depend on Emily?" "Myself, my mother, and my friends?" It sounds unsure even to me when I say it. But that is my life. "You can lose those things you depend on, Emily. You can turn your back on yourself, your mother and friends can do too. Don't you ever think about those mysterious things in this world and who is in control of them?" I smile at Alpha. "Don't you ever think that Jesus Christ could be a made-up story and all you rely on is just a poof story?" "Never," the determination in his eyes spikes me up. What makes a man like this, powerful as he is be determined over another man like this? Soon, I got to know, But, don't you want to know? Copyright 2024 Julie Chance.
