The
reason
I
was
able
to
write
this
450
pages
book
is
because
I
suffer
from
a
disease
called,
“I
can
do
it”.
The
idea
of
writing
this
book
was
first
hinted
to
me
in
2003
and
I
brushed
that
person
aside
by
saying,
“easier
said
than
done”.
I
thought
that
I
had
nothing
to
write
about.
In
2007
I
was
urged
to
write
once
again,
and
this
time
I
turned
the
adage,
“easier
said
than
done”,
into,
‘easier
done
than
said’,
I
did
not
look
back,
I
went
on
to
win
three
literature
awards.
Snippets from the book
Written for your enjoyment
Although,
some
readers
have
reported
that
they
cried
while
reading
the
book,
ultimately,
it
was
written
for
your
enjoyment,
which
is
why
the
same
readers
also
reported
that
the
book
made
them
laugh
before
the tears have even dried.
Strong
Wind
tells
a
life’s
journey
of
Nenio
Mbazima,
from
birth,
turning
Deaf
because
of
meningitis,
up
to
his
life
as
an
adult.
The
book
is
full
of
suspense
and
drama,
it
was
written
in
such
a
way
that
at
the
end
of
every
chapter,
readers
are
left
asking
themselves,
‘what
next’,
causing
them
to
go
on
and
read
the
next
chapter-
in
a
way,
it
is
addictive
and
the
only
rehab
available is reading the book itself.
