A true story of sacrificing everything for family, living with nothing but hope, then sharing generously all they received to discover the greatest riches of all. Tani Adewumi didn't know what Boko Haram was or why they had threatened his family. All he knew was that when his parents told the family was going to America, Tani thought it was the start of a great adventure rather than an escape. In truth, his family's journey to the United States was nothing short of miraculous--and the miracles were just beginning.Tani's father, Kayode, became a dishwasher and Uber driver while Tani's mother, Oluwatoyin, cleaned buildings, while the family lived in a homeless shelter. Eight-year-old Tani jumped into his new life with courage and perseverance--and an unusual mind for chess. After joining the chess club in his public school, Tani practiced his game for hours in the evenings at the shelter. And less than a year after he learned to play, Tani won the New York State chess championship. A young boy with an aptitude for chess? Absolutely. But if you ask Tani Adewumi, he will tell you he believes in miracles and one happened to him and his family. This story will inspire, delight, and challenge you to believe, too.

cozy and detailed fantasy romance
Format: Kindle
Very much the cozy fantasy, the story follows the tale of Lucia and Lina, as circumstance gives them the incentive to grasp something that they both want. It is very much slice of life, focusing on Lucia's day to day running of the inn (often with a lot of details), of those who come and go, and her thoughts and feelings towards Lina and the events that unfold. There is no angst and only a little action, all up an enjoyable sweet story that takes its time in unfurling itself to the reader.

Warm, Sweet, Funny
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed this book! It was a relaxing read with warm characters and an interesting world. This was just cozy goodness to unwind with. There was just enough tension from the threat of the Red Parish, but it was never too much. I hope we'll get another with these characters and this world!
