Publisher's Synopsis
Fate, Faith, and The Journey of Us
An extraordinary story of love, identity, resilience, and spirituality spanning continents and cultures.
Born from a forbidden love in Ghana that bridged two deeply divided religions, Kodjo's early life was defined by uncertainty, loss, and a profound quest for identity. Fate eventually led him across the world to the former Soviet Union, a land on the brink of historic collapse. It was there, in a modest room in Pyatigorsk, Russia, that Kodjo's journey took another fateful turn-he met Nallia, a courageous Armenian-Russian whose own life had been dramatically reshaped by tragedy.
Together, Kodjo and Nallia navigated extraordinary challenges, from the political upheaval and economic hardship of post-Soviet life to the trials of immigration, adapting to life in the United States, and raising a multicultural family. Throughout their experiences, they grappled with profound questions of faith, belonging, and the unpredictable nature of life. Kodjo's thoughtful exploration of Islam, Christianity, Mormonism, and existential philosophy provides a unique lens through which readers can examine the deeper meaning of life's journeys.
Fate, Faith, and The Journey of Us is a deeply personal yet universally relatable memoir about finding love amidst adversity, building identity from fragmented beginnings, and discovering purpose in life's uncertainties. This powerful narrative offers hope, insight, and inspiration for anyone who has ever questioned their place in the world.
