ON MY JOURNEY HOME Kindle Edition

by Rosemarie Onwukwe (Author), Lillian Durudola (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.9 out of 5 stars (13)
In this witty, rib-cracking, yet riveting account of Lillian Durodola’s autobiography, we meet an African-American girl born into a typical, average family in New Jersey. With the rigors and daily challenges of family life with five siblings and the struggle to make ends meet, Lillian navigates through life, finding her path, and keeping her head held high during difficult times.

With her dreams firmly entrenched in her heart, she continues on her path of faith, spirituality, and love for God. Then she meets her husband, a Nigerian from Africa, and her life takes a new turn in her quest for love, family life, and her desire for missionary work in Africa.

On My Journey Home is a raw, vivid, and detailed account of Lillian Durodola’s life which begs the question: Did she live the life she wanted? And was she satisfied and fulfilled in the end?

    This was such a different story than what you would expect from an African American woman born in the 1920s in Newark, New Jersey. Such adventures!
    Even moving to Africa!!! Wow!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Could not put it down

    Amazing book!! Written in the style of short stories. I read it in one afternoon and could not put it down until I got to the last page. I was transported in time to a different era of Lillian's life as a young child and as a young woman, and got insights into her life as an older woman. Her walk with God throughout her life was a constant theme in this book. It was fascinating to read about her travels throughout the United States, her travels to Germany, and her experience as an expat living in Nigeria, West Africa - first in the 1960's and again shortly after. A must read!! Highly recommended.

    On my Journey Home is a refreshing breath of air that creates a sensation of what comfort food does for the soul. The book chronicles the life of Lillian Durdola that was filled with love, humor, adventure, family values, romance, and her faith in God. This book is a great distraction from life's ups and downs and guaranteed to make you smile as you travel with Lillian on her journey and makes you ask yourself the question, am I utilizing my God given gift(s) to the fullest potential? All ages will enjoy this book.
