    About this ebook

    When Pa Lang, 62, leaves Limbe, Cameroon, to attend his son-in-law's graduation ceremony in America, he assures his children and his wife of thirty years, Mama Ewei, that he would be back in just two months. Little does he know, as he hugs them goodbye and promises them various gifts, that it is the last time he would see them alive.
    Told through the eyes of his devoted son-in-law, Asome Bide, As Waters Gone By relates the story of Pa Lang's tragic loss and his struggle to rebuild his life. What is it like to have escaped such a fate while nearly everyone you love is killed? This moving story reminds us of the fragility and resilience of human life in the face of disaster. The story is not only hopeful and uplifting, but also a testament to the potential of faith - that faith can provide the strength to continue and the power to heal.

      Nov 23, 2023

      Much as I love Thanksgiving — seeing my family . . . oh the turkey, oh the cranberry sauce —I feel like maybe a bomb fragment has hit the “thanks” part. I find myself struggling to let a sense of thankfulness flow, because when I do — and doing so ha
