COMPELLING AFRICAN NOVEL HARNESSES THE POWER OF CHILDHOOD MEMORIES
Nationwide -- A single mother desperate to carve out a life for her son... a son orphaned at an early age. A legacy no one expected.
Keleti Sanon's debut novel is fertile ground for twist and turns. The author's previous work, Another Chance Maybe the Last Chance, was a nonfiction title that included a call-to-action across the African diaspora. In his latest release, Sanon delivers fine storytelling ripe with the message of faith, hope, and reconciliation.
In The Adventures of Bamo, author Sanon introduces readers to fictional characters, Diaka and Bamo Toure. The mother and son's stories begin in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, and takes readers on an immersive journey through small village life in Oume, Africa to urban life in the United States.
Sanon says, "The project was inspired by my life and the life of my mother. In many ways, the book is a blend of stories from my childhood. I combine real and imagined characters."
Sanon goes on to say, "Storytelling is a mainstay of the Mandingo tradition and an integral part of the community. I grew up hearing stories, and they birthed a desire to share my voice, culture, and heritage with the world."

Alone and pregnant, Diaka is disowned by her father. In an effort to save herself and her son from crippling depression she travels from the metropolitan city of Abidjan to the rural village of Oume where the university education woman she finds her calling as a teacher. Diaka builds a culture of learning in the small village, but then tragedy strikes and her dreams for the future are swept away.
Bamo lost his mother at an early age and spent much of his childhood moving from home to home in the village, living with many mothers, proving the African adage, "It takes a village to raise a child." An opportunity to move to the United States to continue his education presents itself and Bamo takes it. An unlikely friendship, social media fame, and the realization of purpose brings Bamo back to Oume with a passion to help the village he misses so much.
Sanon believes The Adventures of Bamo exemplifies the power of faith and hope in overcoming personal pain, and the power of forgiveness to help us achieve more than we ever imagined. He hopes people who are struggling to achieve and become more would see themselves in Diaka and Bamo's stories and embrace the common themes of fortitude and perseverance.
Through The Adventures of Bamo, Mother Africa comes alive, not just for African readers, but for readers from around the world who desire to know about his beautiful homeland, it's people, and culture. Sanon encourages all to visit the continent.
