Light-hearted and enjoyable to read

Beyond Conscious Self shares two timely and inspiring stories in Wanjiru’s life’s journey. The first story explains how and why she became a writer, which she credits to her membership in the Friends of the San Diego Public Library. The second story is a travel log to the Greek Island of Santorini where her endurance was tested to the limit. She had to trust her instincts and press forward even when her goal seemed improbable, especially when self-doubt and fear took hold.

By choosing to believe in herself, she discovered we are truly never alone if only we could dig deep within ourselves and then accept the help the universe offers.

Life is not about what scares you; it’s about embracing the possibilities.

Unexpected America

Entangled in America takes on an adventure of an immigrant’s life with Wanjiru as she plods through her American life with an occasional barb to her family in Kenya who wonders why she has stuck in America with no word when she will return home.

When the jerking and grinding life is behind her, Wanjiru decides to come clean and bare her soul not only to her family and friends, but also to anyone who cares to learn the pitfalls of this African woman’s American journey, including her perspective, fears, struggles, and prejudices. She even ventures a throwback when she and her peasant family scratched a living on a British colonial farm.

YEARS of SHAME chronicles Incredible stories on subjugation and marginalization of women:

The first story is about an infant who is unwanted by her mother. The infant’s aunt, Njana, is horrified when she learns of this. And yet, Njana envies her niece because she is born in the mid-1970s. This means the niece won’t be subjected to Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) like Njana was before she turned 14 in the 1960s.

The second story is about Njana’s parent-inflicted trauma by the very people who are supposed to protect her from harm. The Story is set in Kenya and later in California. Njana discloses, for the first time, how she suffered FGM in the backwoods of Kenya. She tells of her turmoil before the operation, the actual operation, and the effects of the operation. Her main concern is not physical or medical issues. Psychological trauma is Njana’s biggest challenge. The secrecy and the shame have devastated her, and even tainted other areas of her life, hence the years of shame as she struggles to look for relief.

The third and final Story is about bedroom challenges that women face in their older years. It’s based on two couples’ marriages—one in San Diego and the other in Nairobi.
