When Western education, then called the white man’s school, first came to the town of Dubayabia in the land of Romron at the heels of the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade, horribly frightening stories about that dreadful trade still lingered in the minds of some parents. Those stories made some parents terrified of sending their children to a white man’s school when they reached school-going age, hiding them instead, or sending only strangers. Also troubling for some residents of Dubayabia region in those days, called the Traditionalists, was the advent of foreign religions preaching against, and indiscriminately branding, their African tribal customs and cultural practices, including their safest and most cherished music and dances, as unreligious or, worse, as pagan practice. For one child named Mawudor in particular, his father, Mordibor, an ultraconservative Muslim of the Tukulor tribe, decided to send him and his elder brother Baba to a faraway remote rural village called Futa in a neighboring foreign country to study the Qur’an and acquire aspects of their Tukulor culture, instead of sending them to school. When Mordibor shared his secret plan for his sons with his friend Pa Manika, along with his other concerns about what he perceived as the un-Tukulor customs and practices of his sons’ maternal relatives in Dubayabia, his friend tried unsuccessfully to talk him out of it. Mawudor’s grandparents also tried and failed in their own way to stop Mordibor from sending their beloved grandson away. While Mordibor wanted to send his sons away to acquire Islamic and Tukulor values, instead of Western education, his son Mawudor, on the other hand, liked and dreamed about attending the white man’s school, and he also admired the customs and practices of his maternal relatives. Even fate, it seemed, was not on his father’s side. After just two years in that Koranic school in Futa, Mawudor and his brother Baba had an accident, a fall in which Mawudor broke his leg. When Mawudor was sent home, following the accident, and his father saw his broken leg, he was devastated. Mawudor’s life, it seemed, had been changed. Even the region of Dubayabia’s most famous herbalist, Mawudor’s grandmother, couldn’t fix his broken leg to its original form. Mordibor, realizing how handicapped his son Mawudor had become, changed his original plan and finally decided to send him to a white man’s school together with his younger brothers. It Took a Broken Leg is a family story in which this author chronicles the eventful experiences of the main character, Mawudor, back in time through a maze of raw African tribal beliefs, customs, and practices characterizing his people, practicing Muslims with keen interests and beliefs in secret societies, spiritual devils, and witchcraft.

Orlando Mora has seen it all, right from childhood up to adulthood, all the trials and hardships that any man could have possibly encountered. Growing up in an abusive family and being subjected to physical and emotional torment, Mora engages in a tale that will surely captivate the hearts of his readers. He started off as a verbally and physically abused child and grew up into a life of bondage, of addiction to alcohol, drugs, and other worldly pleasures. He became lost and hopeless, until one day, when he discovers the beautiful and glorious Word of Christ through the Book of Mormon. Almost instantly, his life took a 180-degree turn for the better. Although imperfect in his relationship with the Lord, Mora claims to have overcome the temptations and roadblocks Satan has set up for him deliberately. Join Orlando Mora as he unveils a most inspiring story of how he has found life with the Lord to be the most pleasant and most fulfilling journey one could encounter. Filled with inspiration and the Word of God, this book exposes the trials and tribulations a normal human being, flawed as he may be, and how to defeat the games of Satan by divorcing him-for good.

Praised as “a work of wild, vaulting ambition and achievement” by Entertainment Weekly, Jamie O’Neill’s first novel invites comparison to such literary greats as James Joyce, Samuel Beckett and Charles Dickens. Jim Mack is a naïve young scholar and the son of a foolish, aspiring shopkeeper. Doyler Doyle is the rough-diamond son—revolutionary and blasphemous—of Mr. Mack’s old army pal. Out at the Forty Foot, that great jut of rock where gentlemen bathe in the nude, the two boys make a pact: Doyler will teach Jim to swim, and in a year, on Easter of 1916, they will swim to the distant beacon of Muglins Rock and claim that island for themselves. All the while Mr. Mack, who has grand plans for a corner shop empire, remains unaware of the depth of the boys’ burgeoning friendship and of the changing landscape of a nation. Set during the year preceding the Easter Uprising of 1916—Ireland’s brave but fractured revolt against British rule—At Swim, Two Boys is a tender, tragic love story and a brilliant depiction of people caught in the tide of history. Powerful and artful, and ten years in the writing, it is a masterwork from Jamie O’Neill.
