Behind the Doors of Fate is a compelling narrative that explores the themes of resilience and personal growth in facing life's challenges. The narrative delves into individuals' choices when confronted with difficult circumstances, emphasising the transformative power of positive reactions and endurance. The story of Adaeze and Eddy shows that, indeed, when life happens to us, we find ourselves behind the doors of fate where darkness, uncertainty, and fear reign. The story also shows that the challenge of life and spiritual death or upliftment lies in the path we choose to follow. It further proves that experience is the best teacher, which has taught us that resentment and negative thoughts deepen the darkness around those who prefer that path while those who stand, even as the storm rages, find a flickering light at the end of the tunnel. Despite the obvious unfavourable circumstances surrounding her, Adaeze chooses her path wisely, and what set out to consume her ends up bringing the best out of her. This novel tells the story of Adaeze and Eddy and beautifully combines a captivating learning process with the simultaneous discovery of places, events, culture, and history. – Dr Isaac M. Ogbonna
