Produktinformationen zu „Home in Exile (ePub)“
Mr Almond pays with his life when he refuses to give away his four young daughters in forced marriage to a tribal rebel leader.
His young daughters, Alima, fifteen; Benatu, twelve; Tabata, thirteen and the youngest, Koshi, who was hearing-impaired, age eleven, have no choice; they must don male disguises and identities in order to stand a chance of escape in search of a new home.
At dawn, the planning takes a hasty few minutes. The girls arrive at a chosen destination and a preferred route, but a gruesome journey across the largest and deadliest desert on earth awaits them, not to mention that they will be faced with the stiff challenges of sneaking through Sharia and war-ravaged countries, like the Sudan, Chad, and Algeria, where young unmarried women are forbidden from walking alone in public.
For lack of options, the girls join other migrants to battle the vertical kilometres of the 3,000-foot Ahaggar Mountains.. The relentless trek day and night through the rocky arid landscape via Libya into Europe becomes even more dangerous..
The more they venture, the further away they find themselves from each other, from their dreams, from themselves. Benatu unexpectedly ends up in a deadly snare, whereas Alima finds herself strangely stranded. Despite their hopelessness, the Almonds count on hope with a strong determination for vengeance. Then the unexpected happens again!

Autoren-Porträt von Felix Kobla Wornameh
Credits to the loving Japanese wife who motivated the husband to get back to school in his late thirties to develop his passion, Felix said, he would never have found the excitement for writing. He moved from Japan and enrolled at the University of East London Law school England in 2009, due to graduate in June 2012, and has been offered a place at the London City Law School for the Professional Legal practice course. He currently works part- time at Heathrow Airport with the Journey Team in Terminal 3 and lives with the spouse Megumi Wornameh, a Dental Hygienist in London.
Both parents migrated from Dzodze, the Capital of Ketu North District of Volta region, in southern Ghana. None learnt to read or write but, inherited great story telling pedigree which was passed on. The late Dad Dogbey Kofi Wornameh, could tell countless stories at a go from his memories.
Felix Kobla Wornameh grew up in a poor but, modest family in Ghana. His childhood and adult life had been nothing more than survival. His favorite sense in that situation was the first day he was sent to school to learn English language in a make-shift structure in Nima, the largest slum in Ghana.
This realization is part of the reason for so much sympathy for immigrants; along with, instead of reading only about the apparent success stories of the super rich and the super popular, He became fascinated on knowing how hard and unprecedented some families have tried to make it in life.
