The Village Girl Grew Up

By: Roselidah Obunaga

 

About the Book

From her humble beginnings, Roselidah was always determined to dream big. Her faith and the support from her late parents served as catalyst into the person who she is now. Since her youthful age and growing into adulthood, Rose has continued to pursue her love for volleyball. She has progressively coached and reached out to the communities that helped her develop as well as local communities. This story is about Rose’s journey as she navigated difficult situations with both loss and triumphs. As Nelson Mandela said, “After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.” Rose believes there is still more she would like to do to expand her passion of the volleyball game”. Her story is one that shows how an ordinary person can have a drastic impact on so many lives.

    I loved this book. Such an honest personal look into her life. I feel like I know her parents and siblings personally. Thank you Rose for sharing your life with us. You are a beautiful person inside and out.

    Well written and so informative on life in rural Kenya. Who would think a young girl from Kenya would end up being a player & coach in the US. Her dedication to her sport took her a long way. Just goes to show you what is possible if you follow your dreams. I also loved hearing about the guidance from her Mom & Dad. Her ties to her brothers & sisters were so endearing. Very loving family.
