Jeneba's Awakening is the story of an orphan who runs away from her devilish aunt and changes her name. She is rescued by a Muslim alhaji who has to convert to Christianity in order to bring the child up in the Christian faith. Jeneba's life is affected by the experiences of those she meets, and she also touches other people's lives with her clairvoyance and her quick understanding. Though ignorant of her inborn gifts, she learns quickly to make good use of them, and through the influence of a Pentecostal couple and their grandson, she gets introduced to the world of spiritual gifts. With her gifts and the combined efforts of both heavenly and earthly angels as well as people, she ends up saving Freetown from an evil spiritual plot by the demon Duro left by her great-grandfather as an occult heritage. ** Leslie Yvonne Gage was born in Freetown and spent almost 22 years there before moving to Germany. She studied Economic and Social Studies at the University of Sierra Leone and English and French Linguistics at the University of Hamburg. She started writing Jeneba's Awakening during a period of crisis involving nightmares; these triggered memories of childhood stories and beliefs, and the realization that the physical and spiritual worlds are not mutually exclusive. Her late father was born in York village that was renowned for witchcraft in previous centuries. Leslie currently teaches German literacy classes for migrants in Hamburg.
