Obiageli Olubunmi-Davies 'From the first chapter, this story was very captivating and relatable to the struggles of those with sickle cell. At times it felt like I was reading my own story. Seeing the growth in Kemi from that timid child to the woman that took charge of her health and life was remarkable. This book doesn't just narrate a story; it educates the readers, open our eyes to the experience of many with the disease. But it also gives us all hope of not just getting cured but also true healing, so we can live life to the fullest and do all the things they told us were never possible, just like Kemi has done'. Miriam Kay 'This book is very impactful and encouraging. It encourages our faith in God. It is a story about fulfilling destiny despite all the challenges encountered. Even though prophecy has been declared over us, it teaches that we have to wage war and run with prophecy, which was demonstrated in the book. I just met a young lady with sickle cell and intended to tell her about your story. Thumbs up to your hubby and sister; I've fallen in love with them. Who will not what to serve the God you serve? Well done'. Funke Adeoye 'This is one of the most genuine, powerful and inspiring books I have ever read. Raw insights into what it is like living with Sickle Cell as a young child transitioning into a teenager and then a wife and mum, truly inspiring'. Funmi Vanessa Ullam 'One Day At A Time' is an inspiring book of courage and strength. I found myself holding my breath as Kemi relates the intensity of the pain she endured with each crisis and then continues with her life. It's an amazing story of a woman determined to win no matter the odds'. LaDona McAlister
