Behind Those Eyes by Prince Ssemuggalwa Kimera Nelson is a book with many stories to tell. Being a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Distinction by the US Congress, Prince Ssemuggalwa Kimera Nelson is also the founder of Life in Jesus International Foundation (LIJIF), that is committed to providing education and services to at-risk populations and marginalized individuals in Africa. With his book, the author enlightens the readers with his own journey from being an ambitious, hard-working and young boy growing up in Africa to travelling places, switching jobs, making his mark in a music career and finally submitting to the call of looking after his own people. Dealing with the absence of his real mother to growing up with stepmothers, Nelson has had conflicting relationships with many, though he also found comfort in different women that have played a significant role in his life in myriad forms. The book offers an insight about African culture and daily life, at the same time aligns it with Nelson's continuous struggle to accept traditional norms and pursue his ambitions despite obstacles.
