When poor Charles Milayi excels in his middle school examinations, he becomes a beneficiary of a secret hand of providence only known to Father James O’Kilghor (a White priest). As the story unfolds, Father James O'Kilghor finds himself weighed down by the secret as he ministers to bigoted members of two African sub-clans (Jamokos and Milayis), who are locked in a century-old, spiritual cold war in which bigotry and pride are lived and served cold in every verbal discourse. In THE MILAYI CURSE, Joseph Alila (the Author of "Sunset on Polygamy") poses a fundamental spiritual and moral question: Should Father O’Kilghor publicly have revealed the secret as a demonstration to his prejudiced parishioners that David Jamoko was courageous and a good-hearted man, who crossed the deep divide to secretly sponsor an “enemy” boy (Charles Milayi) at a time when his own son (Thomas Jamoko) could not manage to graduate out of middle school?
