Overview

Faith Beyond the River is a powerful historical fiction novel about survival, identity, and the unbreakable bond of family. Born into brutal labor in the diamond mines of Sierra Leone, Othanda Bankole and his brothers grow up under oppression, violence, and stolen futures. Bound by faith and driven by hope, they make a daring escape across continents, leaving behind blood-soaked soil for the uncertain promise of freedom in Europe. Set against the backdrop of Africa, London, and post-war migration, this story follows their transformation from exploited boys to men determined to reclaim their dignity. But freedom comes at a cost. As secrets resurface and the past refuses to stay buried, betrayal and violence threaten everything they've built. At its heart, this is a family saga historical novel rooted in African historical fiction, exploring themes of faith, resilience, displacement, and generational survival. Rich with emotion and grounded in realism, Faith Beyond the River examines how far a person must travel, across oceans and within themselves, to truly be free. Perfect for readers who love historical fiction about survival, stories of African diaspora, and deeply emotional narratives about faith, sacrifice, and legacy.
