Opis

In Between is a narrative based on a true story about an African immigrant, whose dream to come to America becomes true, but is immediately shattered by a wave of unexpected challenges - challenges that at times are even a threat to his life. Caught between two beautiful women, Kuu Mboma has to make an impossible choice: betray his own girlfriend or sleep with another woman to survive. With no money left in his pocket, no food to eat and no place to sleep, Kuu is forced to survive on just two pieces of bread a day. This biography is a sensitive, humorous, and informative look at a journalist's transition from Africa to America. He takes a look back at the journey which brought him to where he is today. You will laugh at the humorous tales, and you will cry over the heart-wrenching stories of political upheaval in his native country; you will receive a realistic glimpse of Africa as it truly is from a native who loves his homeland but wanted to make a difference in the world he lives in. Through his words, you will witness the difficulties of his journey as he comes to America as a reporter at the United Nations immediately after the tumultuous 2001 terrorist attacks in New York, surviving through sheer determination to achieve a master's degree in communication, and build a life for himself and his family-and yes, to make a difference through his writing. You will be inspired, saddened, and uplifted by this unique biography of a unique African. It is a must read for anyone who wants to learn more about love, loyalty, Africa, and the indomitableness of the human spirit.
