Dapo Ademola Omisore

My name is Dapo Omisore. I hailed from Ile-Ifein Nigeria, born and raised in Ibadan. The book “From Grass To Grace” is a fulfillment of a long-term ambition. It is dated back to my childhood days. It’s successful completion is the zenith and realization of childhood dreams. The driving force compelling the writing of this book is the inseparable marriage between the keen and intense love for God and literature. The love for the supreme being and superb ideal and legacy are interlocked in this book. The book is the meeting and melting pot and point of the three factors.

It seemed everything had compounded and I was about to lodge a complaint I was rapidly on the verge and brink of succumbing.

From nowhere out of the blue surrounded by an array of people I felt the figurative touch of a hand. The grip was fleeting but vehement and firm.

Eventually at the end of his brief and memorable encounter. I was highly impressed and understand.

I cast my gaze around wondering, puzzled and perturbed I was slightly disturbed painstakingly I glanced again has anyone touched me by chance I imagined there was no one in sight the
