Blessing Ikokwu-Oruche explores
abuse, corruption, believing in oneself in debut novel
Author announces release of ‘Chasing Shadows’
LAGOS STATE, Nigeria
– Augustina has never been what her father wanted – a son. Having put up with
his overbearing nature for years, she strikes her own path and founds a nongovernmental
organization to help victims of several attacks in her country. Wielding
substantial influence, she now faces her father’s further discrimination and a
painful lack of support from her family.
“My inspiration for
writing this book comes from the world at large,” author Blessing Ikokwu-Oruche explains.
“Mainly because human life exists therein and there are so many activities
going on around the globe both negative and positive.”
In her debut novel, “Chasing
Shadows: The Troubled and Haunted” (published by AuthorHouse UK), she
explores abuse and corruption as Augustina not only has to face her father and
a troubled ex-president, but a ghost from her past as well.
“I want readers to
take away originality, the essence of love and the importance of Nation
building,” Ikokwu-Oruche says.
