Akin Jeje 
Smoked Pearl [PDF ebook] 

"Jeje sees the gleam revealed within the grime: his titular smoked pearl evocative of this interplay of light and dark. For tarnished things must once have been precious, and though Jeje writes of wasted days, he recognises the briefness, 'the glory of the blaze.’ … But for all that Jeje sees – the injustice, the silence and the blame – these darknesses of the human soul are not total: the night ends, hope dawns." – Viki Holmes, author of miss moon’s class.
