Long Walk Up
is the gripping tale of a young African girl's journey from poverty and
despair to her remarkable and triumphant destiny as Africa's first
woman president. Long Walk Up's orphan story happened at the same time
that Liberia celebrated the swearing in of its first woman president, a
woman who refused to give up faith, a woman ready to believe in her
life's best.
This poignant inspirational story examines the life
of a young East African orphan girl pushed into the street after her
mother dies. The little girl named Mulukan is only six years old when
she is left to her own defenses. Her future appears bleak, a hardened
life impossible to turnaround. But, her faith, her spirit to believe,
rises up for reckoning.
This emotional story takes an honest
look at unforeseen life events, striking coincidences that become the
threads in the fabric of an orphan child's life. Mulukan's story strikes
a perfect balance between struggle and triumph. This remarkable orphan
child's story searches the heart. It demands faith, real belief and
individual ascension.
Readers who loved The Alchemist, The Prophet and The Audacity of Hope may
fall in love with Long Walk Up. Mulukan's story is reflected around the
world each day in the eyes, hearts and souls of orphan children who
refuse to give up, despite how daunting, merciless and heart wrenching
the path. After all, is any life worth giving up on?
