With a lively narrative, Sakui Malakpa aptly chronicles Joseph Nyuma Boakai's life, from birth to service as Liberia's thirtieth vice president. VP Boakai's childhood was filled with his mother's love, but also with incredible hardship, often at the hands of relatives entrusted to care for him. Although the small boy was not good at farming, he was smart in school. No amount of suffering stopped his determination to become educated. His persistence in life's journey led to high school at the prestigious College of West Africa (CWA). After earning a business degree from the University of Liberia, Joseph Boakai became a loving husband and father, a great leader, highly respected manager of three Liberian government agencies, the minister of agriculture, a businessman, quintessential patriot, life-long role model, and an incredibly honest person who held no grudges. His unique character, personality, faith in God, hard work, public service, and vision make this a must-read book for Liberians and people worldwide. Includes color illustrations. With a foreword by Her Excellency President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Republic of Liberia.
