6"x9" soft cover: 215 pages
This collection of true life stories loaded with life lessons is guaranteed to make you laugh and laugh …and then learn. The book should not be read by anyone allergic to laughter. But whether you laugh or not, it will stir something in you.
Chris Ekpekurede opens up his humorous side, as he unravels uncommon perspectives of everyday life experiences to bring out the serious issues hidden in them. The book is like finding gold in the midst of dust.
Despite the seriousness of the lessons that these stories teach, laughter looms large in the book’s main thrust, as the stories Make You Laugh and Reflect. Says the author, “If we do not make a conscious effort to laugh over some of the serious matters of life, we will allow them to permanently drown us.”
Stories like 'A Day of Many Colours,' 'My Doubled Wife,' 'Learning to Call Her Sweetheart,' 'Solomon's Burden,' and 'Metamorphosis of the Human Face' will draw out your laughter tears. But don't worry; 'The Oyinbo Man is Different' and 'What is Your Life Worth As An Economic Investment' are certain to dry them up. 'Golden Grandmother' will make you go looking for your grandmother, if you have any left. Finally, 'A Voyage to the Past' will make you toss the book aside and dash for your photo albums.
