In our world, there are many tough challenges we deal with every day. Sometimes, these struggles stay hidden, especially from young people. But in this book, we shine a light on them. We talk about the problems we don't always talk about, and we do it in a simple way.
We don't just talk about the tough stuff, though. We also talk about love in our society. But we don't just stop there. We also talk about something important: how boys sometimes get left out because people pay more attention to girls. This hurts boys, and we need to talk about it.
So, join us on a journey to uncover the hidden struggles, to understand love, and to speak up for the boys who need our help. Let's make our society a better place, one word at a time.

authentic tell cased in lovely writing.” Chloe Holiday, Amazon reviewer.
Snippet on leadership: Pg 120:
"Kariuki had once come across a picture story some-
where, depicting some of the challenges of leadership.
A person on a raised podium addressed a group of
people.
“Who wants change?” the fellow asked.
Every one of his listeners promptly raised his hand.
“Who wants to change?”
Here the speaker encountered a minor crisis. Not a single
person raised their hand. Everyone looked at their shoes.
But that was nothing, considering what happened when he
asked his next question.
“Who wants to lead the change?”
The crowd of people dissolved into thin air, leaving the guy
on the podium alone. Every one of the gathered people peeled
away as fast as they could, unable to deal with the possibility,
or probability, that they could orchestrate a process of change.
Kariuki wondered what aspect of the leadership equation was
so scary that it could melt away a mammoth crowd in seconds.
What was it with leadership?"

The Pearl on the Horizon
The Pearl on the Horizon is a moving story about the devastating effects of materialism which sends a rich ethical message in line with religious teachings. Madame Victorine Mahfouz grows up in a materialistic family and looks at everything through these lenses. On the other hand, Eugene and Fresha believe in high achievements in education and consequent roses. Confronted with unemployment and tough socio-economic demands, Madame Victorine mocks the two and even threatens to destroy their engagement. Underlying the plot is a classic romantic love relationship between Eugene and Fresher, on the one hand, and Madame Victorine’s illicit amorous scandals, on the other. In these well-written passages with techniques enriched by letters, songs, poems and narration, the reader will appreciate the author’s juxtaposition of success and survival. The Pearl on the Horizon draws a line between survival and success, crowns the latter prominence and discredits the former. The writer suggests that success is slow but bears enduring results. Survival, on the other hand, is quick but can lead to ruin.
What others say
“The novel is captivating and factual. It captures social and material conditions in Africa occasioned by poor governance. So what is success in the face of devastating levels of unemployment, stiff competition from the large pool of graduates and the need to survive? Is it unprincipled material acquisition and a ‘good living’ or a good education and ethical living?” – Rose Keya, Book Editor.
“The Pearl on the Horizon speaks volumes to young adults who may want to take shortcuts in life and the consequences of such actions.” Harriet Irungu, Student of Literature.
