A love letter to Cameroon and its people, Whispers Of Promise And Glory is a Christian coming-of-age novel with a sweet love story, set against the backdrop of the country's ongoing armed conflict, filled with nostalgia and hope for a brighter future.
Eighteen-year-old Priscilla Ekema is about to start her law degree at university. But her life comes to an abrupt halt when her father's sudden death forces her into a shocking and vulnerable new reality where her mother maltreats her and her mother's new partner seeks to take advantage of her.
The only two people Priscilla can trust are her Aunt Eunice and Emeka, the boy next door who shows an ever-growing romantic interest in her. When Priscilla is stripped of everything she holds dear, she has no choice but to run away to an unknown world filled with new vices.
When a civil war breaks out, Priscilla is left agonising over the safety of the loved ones she left behind. Now she must learn to persevere through life's many blows or kiss her lawyer dreams goodbye. But with no one left to turn to and with hope gently slipping away each day, Priscilla starts questioning the words her aunt always swore by-that there is a God who cares for her.
Whispers Of Promise And Glory is a bittersweet, coming-of-age story about love, war and the sufficiency of God's providence.
