Behind The Doors of Fate is a modern-day tale of two souls forced together by circumstances, only to find solace and love in the most improbable of unions
A FICTIONALISED true story written by Dr. Prince Nduka Alum, ‘Behind the Doors of Fate’ is scheduled for launch at Kongi’s Harvest Arts Gallery, Freedom Park, Lagos Island, on Saturday, September 7, 2024, by noon prompt.
The book launch will feature an enthralling conversation with the author, reviews, dance and poetry interludes, wine and dine, in the serene atmosphere of the Freedom Park; an iconic art hub, famous for its arrays of artistic events.
A debut novel, ‘Behind the Doors of Fate’ is published in Nigeria by Grand Touch Media Services, LTD. The interesting novel focuses, among other topical issues, on the importance of equal opportunity for male and female children in a world that has limited prospects for all.
A consultant agronomist, entrepreneur, and marketplace minister for Christ, Dr. Prince Nduka Alum, while fielding questions from journalists in Lagos said: “The book started as one of my many “Bedtime Stories” as “Sold Into Early Marriage.”
As the story evolved, many of my followers began clamoring for an appropriate title for such a life-impacting story. The idea of how the faith and resilience of the major characters impacted and shaped the fate that befell them contributed to the choice of the title “Behind the Doors of Fate.”
Talking about some of the thematic preoccupations, Dr. Alum highlighted the age of uncertainty and disruptive awakening as one of the book’s concerns emphasizing that: “in an unpredictable age where culture and tradition seem to be on shifting grounds, equal educational opportunity has become indispensable for both the boy and girl child.”
Dr. Isaac Ogbonna however observed that: “The story also shows that the challenge of life and spiritual death or upliftment lies in the path we choose to follow. It further proves that experience is the best teacher, which has taught us that resentment and negative thoughts deepen the darkness around those who prefer that path while those who stand, even as the storm rages, find a flickering light at the end of the tunnel. Despite the obvious unfavourable circumstances surrounding her, Adaeze chooses her path wisely, and what sets out to consume her ends up bringing the best out of her.”
Behind The Doors of Fate is a modern-day tale of two souls forced together by circumstances, only to find solace and love in the most improbable of unions.
The book launch scheduled for Saturday September 7th at the Freedom Park is open to the general public. Kickoff time is 12Noon prompt.
