"A powerful, poignant and moving story'"

 
 “This original and captivating memoir reads like a good novel.”

“A high quality memoir with a strong narrative that kept me up most of the night."

“I agree with all the comments on the book cover, especially ‘compelling’ and ‘a work of love.’


That’s what readers are saying about The Road to Keringet. The book emerges from a promise made to my aging mother, a writer and diarist,  to continue to tell her story when a deepening mental confusion no longer allows her to put words into coherent sentences.  The process of imagining her life, through the journals, letters and manuscripts she leaves behind, while witnessing her decline leads to an exploration of our complex relationship and a transformative understanding.

You can find out more about the story by clicking on ‘about this book.’  It’s a well paced narrative and its exploration of two women’s lives, relationships and choices spans three continents and almost a hundred years is engaging and intriguing to readers who appreciate the uniqueness and yet universality of the story.
