About the Book

Stories about American women who marry foreign men abound-but none of them are quite like this one.

Written in three parts, First Wife begins where life started for Dr. Robena Egemonye-being raised by her grandparents, Papa and Jack, in Anderson, South Carolina. A brave, smart soul practically from birth, Dr. Egemonye fills her memoir with personal anecdotes-some that will make you laugh, cry, cringe, or sigh with great relief. Read how her family defies the laws of segregation to get her a life-saving surgery. Come face to face with her courage to out her negligent second-grade teacher-over and over again-even after being threatened. Witness her being admitted to top universities despite the odds against her. And of course, experience her falling in love with a Nigerian man, marrying him in Manchester, England, giving birth to their children in America and going with him to his homeland. While there, she became the first American to earn a Doctor of Philosophy Degree from a Sub-Saharan Africa University, the University of Lagos in 1984.

This inspirational memoir reads like a journey filled with breathtaking scenery and life-changing experiences along the way. If you are a history buff or simply love a good story with lots of details, you will enjoy every page.
