My Scar My Glory

By Gbenga Timothy Peter

In the pursuit of our dreams, each of us has encountered unique experiences - some good, some bad. These experiences often leave us with scars, spanning physical, mental, and emotional realms. For some, these scars become nightmarish reminders they wish to avoid.

"My Scar My Glory" offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between scars and glory. It delves into the two distant poles of vision and medal, exploring the narratives in between.

The book provides clarity, enlarging our capacity to make sense of life's most challenging moments as we strive to achieve our desired medals. It encourages us to unveil the power of healed wounds beneath those scars, as therein lies our glory.

Barns believed that his greatness was connected to Edison and would stop at nothing to see this desire fulfilled, what Edison might have felt about joining forces with Barns was immaterial at this point, what mattered the most was  what he, Barns felt.
