Gloria!
The Archbishop's Wife
£11.99
When Ben Kwashi proposed to Gloria, he wasn’t expecting to find himself the father of more than 300 children.
But she wasn’t expecting to have her first home burnt down, to have all her belongings eaten by rats, or to be savagely beaten and raped by men sent to murder her husband. She had chosen the name Gloria when as a girl born in a ditch, she decided to follow the one born in a stable and dedicated her life to bringing him glory. Little did she know what that would involve!
Endorsements
Gloria Kwashi is one of my heroines. My personal name for her is “Gloria in Excelsis”!
Baroness Caroline Cox
Gloria Kwashi has been repeatedly tried by fire, even passing through the valley of the shadow of death, yet emerging each time with a deepened faith in God and an enlarged heart to serve humanity. Indomitable and unstoppable, yet gentle, she is the ultimate role model, my sister counsellor, friend and mentor rolled into one.

Unpretentious, untainted, and compelling.
