Titus R. Ngateh's new book Born With A Vision: A Gift of Love ($15.49, paperback 9781498485746; $7.99, eBook, 9781498485753) is the inspiring story of a young man's struggle to beat the odds following the sudden death of his father, and his determination to leave the tragic past behind.

Tragedies in the families, including the deaths of an older brother, an uncle, and two friends in the war, had taught him a hard lesson.
