From Grass to Grace is a deeply emotional and inspiring story of resilience, love, and the quiet power of kindness. The Madu family has always lived in poverty, mocked by society, struggling to survive. But when Mama Ifeoma performs a small act of compassion for a stranger, everything begins to change.
Years later, her son Chisom rises from humble beginnings to become one of the nation's most successful tech entrepreneurs. Their journey from rejection to recognition becomes a powerful testimony that no one remains at the bottom forever when faith, love, and kindness lead the way.
This heartwarming tale reminds readers that sometimes, the smallest good deed can open the greatest doors-and that grace often finds those who least expect it.

The Road to the One
The Road to the One isn't a fairy tale. It's a raw, soul-baring journey through heartbreak, healing, and the sacred process of becoming whole. In this unflinchingly honest memoir, Erica Buck pulls back the curtain on love and loss-inviting you into the quiet wreckage left behind when relationships break, timing fails, and nothing unfolds as planned. What begins as the search for "the one" becomes something far deeper: the rediscovery of self, the rebuilding of faith, and the realization that true love starts with wholeness-not with someone else. With poetic vulnerability and powerful truth, Erica traces the moments that stripped her bare-and the grace that lifted her up. Through every detour, disappointment, and divine redirection, she reveals a love story not built on perfection, but on purpose. For the ones who gave everything, broke in silence, and still chose to hope. The Road to the One is your invitation to grieve, to grow, and to believe again. Because what's meant for you won't miss you-and the road back to yourself just might lead you to the kind of love you never saw coming.Complete

Though neither of them believes in love at first sight, something quickly brews between them as Sebastian makes it his life's mission to show her how a true follower of Christ is meant to be, and help her rekindle her forsaken faith.
