KShs850.00 KShs750.00

Chronicles of Mom is a humour-loaded account of real events from the author’s childhood, growing up in the rural localities of Nakuru County in Kenya. The stories revolve around a gifted woman who could resolve a variety of issues affecting her family and community, thereby touching the hearts of many people in the most profound and thought-provoking way. The book aims to captivate readers of all ages and backgrounds, from children to adults, including literature students in higher education across Africa and beyond, whether for learning or leisure. The writer has carefully preserved the original essence of the events while allowing readers to learn, gain wisdom, and laugh through one of the most hilarious tales ever told.

Mwangi Maina is a seasoned health practitioner, university lecturer, consultant, and author specializing in health systems management and pharmaceutical sciences, with work spanning several African countries. While his expertise and much of his writing are rooted in this professional background, Chronicles of Mom marks his debut in non-scientific literature and creative writing. Having known and worked with Mwangi for many years, I am confident that his passion for engaging audiences will make this book a fascinating read for all. The second instalment in the series, Chronicles of Mom – Book 2, is currently in the process of publication.

Taking time to reflect on the stories and lessons at the end of each episode will undoubtedly inspire your decisions in various life situations and contribute to your intellectual and personal growth. Furthermore, Chronicles of Mom will make a memorable gift for family, friends, and anyone whose life you wish to enrich with deeper insights and enchantment.
