3. The Adventures of Ellie
$29.99
A novel that will inspire you to love!
In this third and final instalment to the Struggles of a Dreamer trilogy —you will be taken on an adventure of a lifetime. With the skill of a compelling but matured storyteller, Yahaya takes you by the hand as you experience the adventures of Ellie. In the story, the strong-hearted heroine does not only take a powerful stand along-side her husband, Tunde —but takes the lead, as she struggles to keep their lives from falling apart.
In this book, you will be taken on a journey —from the unlikely beginning of the couple’s romance to their constant encounter and struggle with the forces of good and evil which sought to only interrupt their quest. The main focus, however, is on Ellie’s perspective of the story, her life alone in Nigeria with their son, Femi, in the absence of Tunde. You will encounter true love, the power of faith, sheer determination, patience, betrayal, and forgiveness in the most unlikely ways as Ellie copes to survive in a world she thought was under her control.

“Nowadays in our world, a sense of realness is often frowned upon, and raw feelings along with child-like wonder is often tossed aside. But not with Yahaya’s writing. His humble approach to writing stories brings you closer to the emotions and thoughts of a character who feels real in the heart. It’s refreshing to read about the life of the characters that seems to come from such an honest, heartfelt position. His books are inspiring, comforting, and adventure-filled all at once!”

Anna Donato, award-nominated gala director for charities and anti-bullying advocate –
“The Adventures of Ellie is simply brilliant. Lose yourself in the wondrous life of Ellie as she struggles to find herself while carving out a new life in a new world. It is witty, funny, dramatic, and so real, you will not be able to put it down. Ellie is you, me, all of us.”
William Doyle-Marshall, veteran journalist and broadcaster, former host/producer of My Data Bag on CHRY Radio –
“The Adventures of Ellie is a moving story that mixes traditional African cultures with some of the New World practices. Not only does it examine music and attire, but the body of work offers a candid view of how an African family attempts to adopt North American ways with tried-and-true African lifestyles. Desires for improvement and resistance to change are obvious as the principal characters in the novel pursue their respective dreams. There is a mixture of love, caring, fear, honesty, dishonesty, and violence between the pages of The Adventures of Ellie.”
Frances Coulter, small-business owner and lover of life, Toronto, Canada –
“Settle down for the best read yet. This novel is the culmination of an epic journey with all the hallmarks of a compelling love story. Pain and despair meet true grit and determination to deliver a powerful life story that will inspire the reader.”
