Legend of Yerrowbayero

>The Legend of Yerrowbayero is an African epic that rivals classic European literature like Homer’s Iliad. It is a story about the lengths an African mother and son would go to for each other. Above all, it is a story of the enduring power of love and how, sometimes, soul mates can meet in the most unlikely ways. Set in medieval Africa, it depicts the epic journey undertaken by the protagonist in order to save his mother, and the epic journey she undertakes to save him. Yerrowbayero finds himself enslaved, but his life is not yet over. In fact, it's just beginning. Aida Sirah is determined to free her son, even if it means sacrificing her own freedom. This is an African oral tradition put down on paper, re-imagined and revitalised for a modern audience, exploring the life of the man who founded a great African civilisation, and his strong African mother. This inspiring story will make a connection with the hearts, not just of mothers the world around, but of their children as well. The legend set a precedent throughout Africa of how great a woman's love for her child should be, and vice-versa. Now, it serves as a gentle reminder to those living, not just in Africa, but in the Caribbean, America and all across the globe, that a mother's love conquers all. This is the oldest African legend - history turned to fiction. This is The Legend of Yerrowbayero. - [amazon](https://www.amazon.com/legend-Yerrowbayero-Ms-Aminata-Jalloh/dp/B0946ZLCGV)
