Beauty in the Bright Light

About the Book

Raaluchi had always thought she was perfect; that she was walking in the light, because she had her father’s special love. She lives a holy life for which she believes God owes her a huge gratitude. But everything turns upside down when her father, Chief Nnanyelugo Ezechikwelu, dies unexpectedly the very day she writes the last paper of her West African Examination, on the twentieth day of May 2005. She mourns her father like a widow. This is the day Raaluchi’s depression begins and her life’s long journey becomes fraught with unexpected challenges. Life seems to turn around for her happiness when she sees the beauty in the bright light and learns of her father’s deception. Raaluchi realizes she has been walking in darkness.
