While author Ambrose Okosun was just
beginning his life in March of 1973 in Lekki,
Nigeria, his parents’ marriage was ending.
Left with his grandparents to eke out a living in a small village, Okosun was separated
from his mother and was not allowed to see
his birth father. From a young age, he was
dealt a hard life.
In A Boy and His Dream, Okosun shares
the struggles he endured and how he strived
to overcome those early challenges. From
hunger to being ostracized by a polygamist
family, he experienced severe poverty while
growing up. At the same time, his elders imparted important lessons that Okosun took
to heart, including the message that he was
in charge of his own destiny.
Learning by trial and error and with guidance from God, Okosun tells how he became
educated, earned several degrees, and immigrated to the United States. A Boy and His
Dream narrates the story of a man who has
come a long way from being an abused little
boy in Nigeria.
