The first published book of this fifty-something author (aka a'Kihoro) who found her voice when she put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard, and discovered that writing poetry is a life changing catharsis. Amani na Mapenzi: Love & Peace, speaks in a spiritual voice to young adults, African-Americans, abused women, and just plain folks. It is a collection of her first poems, with a touch of "Mother Wit," that draw upon life, Agape love, self love, emotion and wisdom-at times with a sense of humor-from adolescence to today.
