“You’ll never walk again.” California Senator Omer Rains had been a politician on the global stage, a power-broking lawyer of A-list celebrities, and conqueror of some of the highest mountains in the world. But when a paralyzing brain aneurysm and stroke hit him at age 61, he became more helpless than a small child. In Back to the Summit, Rains takes readers on a courageous journey toward recovery, both physical and spiritual, as he reflects on the people, events, and American history that shaped his life and gave him the strength to dare to walk again. Every flashback to the past offers insight into the philosophy that once saved his life and now defines his every action: “Get up from every fall, no matter how great or far, and continue to live life fully.” Those who have suffered physical trauma may find hope in his story; their loved ones may gain insight and understanding. And any reader who has ever faced a mountain of a setback will be inspired to keep on fighting to live again. Back to the Summit takes us on a journey toward physical and spiritual recovery that reminds us that anything is possible.

This is an exhilarating autobiography of a dreamer, adventurer, historian, and a pioneer. In a captivating narrative that holds the readers attention throughout, Professor Soremekun weaves emotional, heartfelt, and sometimes humorous stories of his life in the context of his beloved family, his unshakeable faith, and major historical world events all of which greatly influenced him. The theme that drives and sustains him is truly the American spirit, in which he steeped himself at a young age. That and an innate drive early on in life earned him the nickname American Boy by his Nigerian peers. The culmination of his dreams was his journey, by sea, to the United States for school in 1956 and a half-century teaching career that periodically took him back to Africa (Nigeria and Zambia) and to traverse other continents and countries around the globe. After retiring in 2012 from Citrus College in California, Professor Soremekun returned to his native Nigeria where he currently lives out his dream of training a new generation inspired by the same ideals.

It was on a smoldering hot day that the young teen, Jane, was walking briskly from her house toward the street, a break from her usual habit of hiding indoors to avoid a chance encounter with soldiers who could capture her. Suddenly she sensed a shadow overhead, which was accompanied by the dreaded whistling sound of bombs pushing downward through the air. She knew immediately that she was in extreme danger. She quickly looked up to determine the bombs’ direction so she could deduce the best avoidance strategy. Unfortunately, it seemed already too late as the scotching heat above her head indicated the bombs close proximity. Before she could act, everything went dark and there was deadly silence. Later, as she pushed debris out of her mouth, after realizing she was miraculously still alive, Jane had no idea that this astonishing outcome would be just one of many in her future. In a riveting retelling of her experiences as a young girl living through the Nigerian Civil War, Dr. Jane recounts amazing incidences of near-death occurrences with escapes that defy explanation. While inviting others into her journey through the chaos, she encourages us to explore with her whether wartime chaos, and the abundance of impossible odds, could be breeding grounds for divine interventions, miracles, and the inpetus to evaluate events in our lives differently. Loved Beyond Compare is the gripping memoir of a Nigerian girl’s experiences as she and her family struggled to survive the vicious civil war that raged around them.
