Summary of Becoming Auma: a novel inspired by true events
While many women have one or two close friends in their lives, Auma had been blessed with a circle of thirteen. Long ago, the girls had vowed to each other that when they became grandmothers, each would ask to be called 'Auma', with affection and in reverence to all the 'drama and trauma' that had transpired along the way. From within the pages of handwritten journals kept over her lifetime, her story unfolds. Graced and comforted by the support of her friends forever by her side, she maintains the strength not only to persevere during life's most difficult challenges, but also to cherish and celebrate the simplicity and joys of each day. While many people may strive to 'make lemonade from life's lemons,' Auma and friends take the same lemons of life, trade them in for limes, toss in some tequila, make margaritas and throw a party. This genuine sisterhood shapes Auma's ordinary life into something extraordinary and makes hers a story worth telling.Relationships Books
