James Stroud announces the release of 'To Africa and Beyond'
SARATOGA, Calif., Aug. 31, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "I grew up in Ghana, observed my father in action, lived many colorful adventures both with him and near him. After his passing at age 94, I came into his voluminous correspondence from before I was born, from his life in Africa during the 1950s. While reading his correspondence, the book naturally began to evolve, through my tears of sorrow and joy and fond remembrance," James Stroud states.
"To Africa and Beyond: The Life and Work of My Father in the Gold Coast and Ghana while Occasionally I Traipsed Along" (published by Trafford Publishing) is a collection of recollections and images from Bronnie Ellis Stroud's life and work in the Gold Coast and Ghana. Thrown in with these vignettes are some of James' more vivid boyhood adventures that came to pass beside or near his father.
"This book is both simple and untraditional in its form. Intentionally, it is at moments unusually personal. Vivid, colorful and intended to evoke reflection and response within the reader, it is not a written photograph. Rather, it is a written icon," James says.
When asked what he wants readers to take way from the book, James answers, "I want readers to take away a taste of the joy and mystery of Africa. I want readers to take away a small feeling of warmth from a man who lived his life in unfettered kinship with God and man."
