Inspirations from My Mother (ePub)

Inspirations from My Mother, a Journey of Faith and Endurance: An Autobiography is an epic journey of faith and endurance of a little boy born into a polygamous family in the village of Lekong in the deep hinterland of the rain forest of Cameroon, with big dreams installed in him by his mother who got blind during his teenage years.

Growing up in a poor polygamous family, Dr. Mike depended solely on his mother for everything, but his mother got blind during his first year in secondary (middle) school and died during his first year in high school. Though his mother was blind and dead, Dr. Mike refused to give up on himself and must endure all obstacles, faced his challenges, and built faith in God from his teenage age through adulthood to become the highly educated, family-loving, and responsible individual today due to the inspiration from his mother.

Determined to confirm the information that his child died at birth, Dr. Mike went searching for his teenage age girlfriend and, after seven years of search, discovered his daughter who was reported dead thirty-five years ago at birth by his girlfriend's uncle.

While his journey is filled with obstacles, Dr. Mike never gave up on being a family man, a loving husband, and a father. In his seven children, there is a graduate with a master's degree, one in the university, three in high school, one in middle school, and another in the vocational training academy. Dr. Mike is a grandfather to nine grandchildren.

Dr. Mike is the first of his siblings to graduate from college and to have earned a terminal degree, thanks to his blind mother, endurance, and faith.
