Professor Nomalungelo Goduka's spiritual journey began in her mother's womb. It continued eziko-around the fireplace, in the rondavel, in her village kwaManxeba, South Africa. This is where she was received by warm hands zabazalisikazi-indigenous birth attendants. From infancy to adult life, she was nourished and sustained ngamanz' eQala river, ampompoza phantsi kweeNtaba zoKhahlamba. This landscape formed the cradle of her childhood dreams, and gave her a sense of gravitas, meaning and purpose in life. Rhythms from the landscape served as magnets that drew her from luxuries she enjoyed for three decades, in the US; back to her humble roots, to follow various spiritual paths to fulfil her childhood dreams, towards her ultimate destiny. Prof. Goduka's memoir, provides a treasure trove of indigenous knowledge to inspire creativity in aspiring readers and authors, in this and next generations.

Prof. Nomalungelo Goduka

In her memoir, Professor Goduka leads readers to her childhood in her village kwaManxeba, during the 1950's and 60's. This was an era during which she witnessed deaths of babies and young children from malnutrition and other preventable diseases. After contracting kwashiorkor and Tuberculosis, as a young girl, she was hospitalized. However, she emerged from that experience wondering why she survived while so many children lost their lives. That question led to a lifetime exploration of purpose and meaning which she openly shares in her memoir. For all those questioning or reflecting on the meaning and purpose in their own lives - what they are on earth to fulfil - Professor Goduka's memoir of life and lessons is a must read! Dr. Phame Camarena, Dean, Conroy Honors College, New Mexico State University. U.S.A.
