Product Description

Product Description

"My Life Sentences" is a true story written by Elisha Chirchir who was born in Kenya - Africa to a family of 14. Despite the large family size, tragedies took away his five siblings and he could not understand why. Elisha takes you through each step of his life as he grew up in the remote corners of Africa to the lighted streets of the United States of America. Challenges did not stop after landing in New York. They seem to never end for him at all. Every time things seemed to lighten up, an even darker shadow came knocking. He has been through thick and thin and yet he is prepared for the worst. While doing his best to draw a fine a line between the two different lifestyles (Africa and America), he clearly draws the real picture of his struggles. You can only relate to his harrowing transitions by reading his story.....

Incredibly Inspiring 26 April 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
After 3 recommendations, i finally decided to read this book on my 26th birthday from cover to cover. I am completely inspired by the way Chirchir tells his story, its just his life story, but i now believe there is power in us telling our life stories. Growing up in almost similar environments, i read the book amidst laughs and tears, as it reminded me of my humble beginnings, but also of the destinations that we are never aware of, as Chirchir writes.
Now, as i walk on the streets of Oxford, I am able to appreciate every single foreign person i see here- i included. I know each one of us has a beautiful story to tell, and i hope we can all get chances to tell of our stories, and the reason why we are where we are today. If you feel you want to tell your story, 'My life sentences' is worth reading, it will encourage you to open up, and even more so, to know that you are not in this world alone. Others have made in their unique ways.

I recommend this, easy to read book, to every one who has lost confidence with their identity and hope in their life. It will help you realize the power of opening up and telling the story, it will make you a hero, it will uplift you.

This book just may open your eyes 10 Jan 2012
By John Sonmez - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
This book was a wonderful eye opening read. It is amazing to see the perspective of a young man from Kenya and how he overcame adversity again and again to truly embrace the opportunity available through education and the United States.

This book is a wonderful story of human perseverance and compassion.

After reading this book, I am compelled to rethink my life and the blessing I have been given and taken for granted.

Such a fascinating story, I could not put this book down!

There are stories out there that can inspire you. There are stories out there that might inspire you. And then there is this one. You relate only by what you have gone through yourself. Adversity make us stronger and that is exactly what you get after reading this book. I seriously recommend it.

Pleasantly Surprised 26 Feb 2012
By Readallthetime - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This was a great read. I purchased the book version of this book and was so drawn in from the beginning of the book. If you are like me and like to read a variety of different titles then please don't miss out on this life story of a man coming from a whole other world. The struggles he went through and took had me crying, laughing and I really connected. I didn't feel the need to skim pages like I do in so many books now. I loved everything about this piece. Great Job!!!
