On The Window Sill

Mariam's story cannot be said to be one of grass to grace or rags to riches, for even within her community, she was tendered, loved, and pampered by her parents who had a distinct sense of purpose for her future. However, coming from the remote hillside village of Gulak in Adamawa State, she was the least likely candidate for the heights she achieved at the United Nations. Symbolically titled The Window Sill, she sees her life as a window through which she hopes the reader can see God at work: His Love, His Might and Enduring Faithfulness. Through The Window Sill, Mariam reveals the role of visionary parents in the life of their children; the role of faith; and the role of mentors. She comes out strong with lessons of faith, introspection, and self-confidence.

In a compelling narrative, not necessarily chronological but progressive nonetheless, Mariam's story is lucidly delivered with wit, laced with humour. She points her readers to values that are fast waning in our society, and which we set aside with grave consequences. However, she reminds us that there is yet hope to inspire and nurture the next generations to care, heal and forgive. The Window Sill is truly a keeper's collection.
