ABSTRACT
From the Streets to Hope is a deeply moving and unforgettable story of survival, loss, and the quiet power of human kindness in a world that often turns its back on the vulnerable.
After the death of his mother, a young boy finds himself drifting through life without shelter, protection, or direction. Too young to fully understand the cruelty of the world, yet old enough to feel its weight, he is forced onto the streets—where hunger becomes a daily companion and fear an unwelcome teacher. Each day is a test of endurance, each night a battle against cold, danger, and loneliness. With no one to depend on and nowhere to call home, he learns quickly that survival is not a choice but a necessity.
When fate places a stranger in his path, everything begins to change. Kelvin—a struggling graduate battling unemployment, frustration, and a society built on connections rather than merit—offers the boy what few others have: food, shelter, and compassion. Despite his own hardships, Kelvin opens his door and heart, proving that goodness can exist even among those society has overlooked. Through their brief but life-altering bond, the boy discovers a truth he will never forget—that hope sometimes arrives in unexpected forms.
As the journey continues, reality strikes again. Limited resources, harsh laws, and the dangers of life on the road force the boy to face difficult choices on his own. Sleeping in motor parks, hiding from armed security, battling cold nights and empty stomachs, he presses forward with nothing but courage and determination. Each obstacle becomes a lesson, each failure a stepping stone toward survival. In moments of despair, he clings to the belief that tomorrow might be kinder than today.
Set against the raw backdrop of urban struggle in Nigeria, From the Streets to Hope is more than a story of poverty—it is a testimony to resilience, faith, and the strength of the human spirit. It sheds light on the unseen lives of street children, the broken promises of society, and the small acts of kindness that can change a destiny forever.
This novel is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest moments, hope can still rise—and that sometimes, one compassionate heart is enough to save a life.
