Mkparu has created a masterpiece of immigrant experience and connection, outlining many of the forces that influence and stress modern Africans and Americans alike.-MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
An immigrant's story of courage, resilience, and our unbreak able attachments to the people and places we love.
The hounding voice inside me would not let go.
Thus begins Fidelis O. Mkparu's novel, Soulful Return. A tale of the emotional journey of Afamefuna Onochie Nwaku a Harvard-trained medical doctor with a career most can only dream of, a loving wife, and supportive family after he receives a telephone call from his sister who lives in Nigeria that her life is being threatened.
Left with no other fair choice, Afam leaves behind his family, throwing his marriage into turmoil and risking the life he has built in Boston. When he arrives in Nigeria, he expects to find the country he loves, that he needs, waiting for him. Instead, he finds a land and people he barely recognizes.
As Afam sets out to reconnect with the family and heritage that he left behind, he must face new enemies in an increasingly corrupt Nigeria where many people see him as an American intruder. And through it all, he must fight to keep his family together-and alive.
