Book Description

An ode dedicated to people who have tamed life’s hardships. After a tough-as-nails escape from a train accident that saw him lose vital parts of his anatomy, Tumelo dubs this book his ‘soothing balm’ as he sums up, anew, who he is.

His road to recovery has been everything but smooth and thus gives insight into how he continues to lasso his life back and re-adjust to the convoluted normalcy of life after his “goliath”.

“The year 2017 is undoubtedly the hardest of my life. But it is over now, I have to make up my 2017 bed and avoid it weighing down on me.

This billet-doux is an elevator to hoist people who are differently-able. I wrote it because some of the things in my ‘less perfect flesh-and-blood reality’ remain a miracle; indescribable and immeasurable – I am a miracle. And you need a thesis for that.”

It is a comeback. A rebirth, moreover, of very epic proportions. And there’s nothing that captures the collective imagination like a comeback. He bleeds. He reels. He builds. He heals. He beams. He learns. He unlearns. He is unbecoming to become.
