‘A deeply moving and riveting memoir.’ Arianna Huffington ‘An
incredible personal story.’ Don Cheadle This spellbinding memoir
opens with a woman receiving shattering news that her husband and
son have been in a terrible accident. In that instant, she becomes
a widowed immigrant left to raise four children in a London
neighbourhood beset by poverty and crime. Her struggle awakens an
inner strength which – coupled with the rituals of radical
mothering from her village – lead to the family’s salvation.
The fierce parenting style she adopts ultimately produces an
Oscar-nominated actor, an Oxford-educated CNN anchor, a doctor and
a successful entrepreneur. Where the Children Take Us is the story
of a woman who battled genocide, famine, poverty and crushing grief
to rise from war-torn Africa to the streets of South London and
eventually the drawing rooms of Buckingham Palace. It paints an
unforgettable portrait of strength, tenacity and love – and is a
testimony to the sacrifices Nigerian parents make to raise
successful children.
