Triumph of Innocence

Book excerpt: Innocence is always on the verge of being lost, particularly amongst growing teens. It is even more so within developing countries of the world. Triumph of Innocence examines the challenges faced by a Nigerian child within a same-sexed boarding school in Nigeria. This intriguing, striking and strongly moral book is a beautiful testimony of how much instilling values at the foundational stages of a childs life can help him weather the storms life throws at him. Ehis in this book grows up fast in wisdom and experience, beating the odds of a corrupt society to show that innocence of heart does not consist in just fighting evil, but also remaining true to ones core values. I recommend this literary piece for all who are besieged with internal struggles between good and evil inclinations at various moments in their lives. The message of this book inspires hope, because at the end, true innocence, affirmed by a good moral foundation, always triumphs. - Rev. Fr. Oji Robert
