Life Sentence by Felgonah Oyuga

Description

This is not a story about surviving life.

It is about developing an appetite for it.

To live is to collect contradictions: to grieve and still dance, to lose and still desire, to laugh with a broken heart, to become softer without becoming smaller, to choose wonder over certainty, again and again.

In this unforgettable collection of poetry, memoir and lyrical prose, Felgonah Oyuga writes about the glorious mess of being human. With warmth, irreverence and fierce honesty, she explores love, motherhood, family, friendship, freedom, sensuality, sorrow and the everyday courage it takes to keep choosing life.

These are not stories of perfect healing or easy answers. They are invitations to live with curiosity, to embrace pleasure without guilt, to make room for grief without surrendering to it, and to remain gloriously, unapologetically alive.
