Love, Loss & Life Lessons:: A Memoir of Cross-cultural Rift, Reconciliation & Ripple Effects

When her minor children are snatched from her custody and whisked to Nigeria by their father on his first visitation with them following an acrimonious divorce, a mother is left to make sense of the betrayal and to determine a course of action in response. In this memoir, the author uses journal entries and correspondence — before the advent of e-mail, texts, and Tweets — to tell the story of her attempt to recover from a destructive marriage and to bring the children home, while trying to create a life for herself separate and apart from them.
