Holding Onto Somewhere W Kay Shabazz

For eleven years, Kim Ndili, a goal-driven beautiful woman from a Midwest town, stood by her husband Gbenga (Binga) and held her secrets while hiding her the bruises. Her love held her family together. Her faith told her to hold on even when it meant taking their two boys and following her man to West Africa. Will honoring her vows mean dishonoring herself? She finds the strength to go back home to her Midwest town, far from Gbenga. Home where she can heal, pick up the pieces and take control of her life, but it meant being ripped from her boys. Family and love have always meant so much to her. It is a story about strength of hope, elusive but ultimately redemptive, with a cast of unforgettable characters. Torn between fear, shame and her spiritual intelligence, Kim wrestles with choices she never dreamed her family would face. Its a journey across the Atlantic Ocean to Nigeria, revealing the strength in a mother's love and the delicate but loving bonds that hold us together and ultimately push us through.
