One Day At A Time (ePub)

Sickle cell disease-an unkind, unforgiving illness that doesn't stand a chance against Kemi.

Despite a brave face, Kemi's been fighting an invisible enemy for thirty-five years. A disease that threatens to take everything from her; her family, her dreams, her life. Her uncertain journey takes unexpected twists and turns, but she retains hope.

This raw, intimate peek into her life-the questions she asks, and the unforeseen situations she must overcome-will inspire readers to never lose hope even in the face of great adversity and setbacks.

Life dealt Kemi devastating blows, left her in a place she didn't wish to be, and she rose to the challenge. She fought for a better future, a better life than the universe offered her. And she's still fighting.

This is her story.

'From the first chapter, this story was very captivating and relatable to the struggles of those with sickle cell. At times it felt like I was reading my own story. Seeing the growth in Kemi from that timid child to the woman that took charge of her health and life was remarkable. This book doesn't just narrate a story; it educates the readers, open our eyes to the experience of many with the disease. But it also gives us all hope of not just getting cured but also true healing, so we can live life to the fullest and do all the things they told us were never possible, just like Kemi has done'.

'This book is very impactful and encouraging. It encourages our faith in God. It is a story about fulfilling destiny despite all the challenges encountered. Even though prophecy has been declared over us, it teaches that we have to wage war and run with prophecy, which was demonstrated in the book. I just met a young lady with sickle cell and intended to tell her about your story. Thumbs up to your hubby and sister; I've fallen in love with them. Who will not what to serve the God you serve? Well done'.
