A true story of survival, pain, and unexpected healing. Born into a polygamous home torn apart by jealousy, violence, and silence, Orike Ernest Elems grew up caught between fires those that burned in his broken family and the ones that eventually shaped him in the kitchen. As the firstborn, he carried burdens too heavy for a child: protecting younger siblings, witnessing brutal conflicts, and learning to stay invisible in order to stay alive. From Fire to Fire is more than a memoir it's a mirror to Nigerian families, a challenge to toxic parenting, and a voice for every child forced to grow up too fast. It is also a celebration of resilience and purpose, showing how a boy who was nearly destroyed by the flames of home eventually found healing in the fire of the kitchen. This is a story for the silenced. For the strong ones who are tired. For parents seeking redemption. For children who need to know: you can survive, and you can thrive. "The fire that almost consumed me became the one that refined me." Orike Ernest Elems
