Book Description
From the author's ancestral home of Owerri Nkworji Town in the eastern region of Nigeria to JFK Airport in New York City, Conflicted Destiny is a profoundly visceral and spiritual memoir of one man's unrelenting focus to transcend his circumstances to fulfill the destiny that is written on his heart. Driven by an insatiable ambition and an unquenchable fire in his spirit, Pete Amadi eloquently and tirelessly describes details of his life from birth to young adulthood. While facing chaos, poverty, and abuse in a country known for its diversity and tension, Mr. Amadi is forced to summon the fullness of his own intellectual, spiritual, and emotional resources to cope with complicated and tangled cultural traditions. Despite all the obstacles in his path, it was his vision and inspiration for a greater life that caused him to remain steadfast and strong in completely unacceptable situations-and it was this vision and inspiration that ultimately delivered him to the shores of the United States of America.
