Description

Hope in the Wilderness is a book about the life of David Gilbert Bwire. An autobiography, the book narrates the early life of Bwire who comes out as a man who has gone through trials and tribulations while trying to find a life in a very harsh family background surrounded by poverty in a polygamous society. It is also a book that illuminates his childhood life as a son from a polygamous family. This was a rough patch for Bwire who, due to economic hardships, had an unbearable and drastic migration that saw him at one point being forced to leave his home and start a new life at his stepmother, Rosemary Nangira, and his aunt, Florence Orima’s home. In addition, the author takes the reader though his education life. Here, Bwire expounds on the challenges he has encountered in his academic journey and his struggles to overcome them. The author shows how he managed, against all odds, to shrug off the burdens that come with being a child fisherman to attain high academic credentials. The reader will be inspired by Bwire’s account on how he used to source school fees from fishing in the waters of Lake Victoria known as Bumbe Beach Port. Hope in the Wilderness speaks about light, strength, grace, favour and protection of God in times of trouble. The book is an inspiration to all that anyone passing through trials, tribulations and challenges that perforate life should focus on the Lord for it is only from Him that Hope is found.
