Malaika. "Angel"

This book contains Short Stories about people who have been weakened by life circumstance not caused by their fault, who have gone on to use that disadvantage to inspire them to triumph over adversity. Often the main character in the book has been an ethnic minority who has been able to use his coping mechanisms for the unfair challenges that life has thrown at him as a strategy to motivate himself to successfully secure paid work in a profession that he wants. Also along this unlikely life journey, the main character finds unconditional love, which is completely unexpected.
