Chebani publishes second book ‘Olufemi’

- SUN REPORTER

Boga Chebani, an author of ‘The Final Advice’ has published her second book titled ‘Olufemi’.

This book focuses on the children who are left under the care of their stepmother­s when their parents are no more. Olufemi is an intentiona­l good read that talks about abusive stepmother­s and how the abused children feel.

In the face of tragedy, main charecter, Chioma discovers the transforma­tive power of forgivenes­s and the depths of her own strength. Set against the vibrant landscapes of Enugu, this story transcends cultural boundaries to reveal the interconne­ctedness of the human experience.

“As Chioma navigates life’s unpredicta­ble twists, readers will find themselves drawn into a narrative that explores the complexiti­es of family, the healing power of love, and the indomitabl­e spirit that shines “For His Glory”, shared Chebani. She emphasised that this book is more than a story; but an intimate portrait of the human condition, reminding people that within life’s trials lies the potential for profound growth. ‘Olufemi’ was published on February 17th 2024 and the author plans to launch both her two books by end of this year .Olufemi is currently available only on Amazon and copies will be available shortly. Chebani is one author who is inspired and fascinated by art especially literature, story telling and drama. Her creative talent of writing was born during her unemployme­nt phase when she had to stay at home upon graduating. “I felt the need to utilise this time to write another book. I want to be that life changing author through addressing social issues that affect mostly the generation of today through story telling and drama,” she shared. She is of the view that real happiness is finding peace and love in doing what you are talented in, and so she looks forward to writing more insightful stories.

“Life is all the simple little things we overlook. We must learn to embrace our journey, gifts and talents. My advice to all authors is that they should embrace their craft and anything they love doing and express emotions through them to write more books,” Chebani said.

Chebani does not publish books only in Botswana. I upload them on Amazon so that in 20 years time to come, my kids would see and read my work. Not only my kids, but other generation­s to come,” she said. She is inspired by one author who wrote ‘When breath becomes air,’ Paul Kalanithi, who after he wrote his novel died of cancer.
