The Voice Within'

By Taofeek A. Adedokun

A Novel Inspired by a True Story Dr. Tobi concealed his lifelong battle with schizophrenia. "Raised in the fishing town of Epe, Nigeria, he watched his father--once a jovial personality--succumb to schizophrenia, ending his life by suicide. Left behind was a grieving mother and two young sons. The youngest, Tope, was a gifted --a straight-A student destined for greatness. But without a father figure, he fell into the grip of drugs, gangs, and street violence- He dropped out of high school Tobi, the quiet and average brother, bore a different burden: the same mental illness that had stolen his father. Yet, he made a vow--to become a doctor, to find a cure, and to break the cycle for good. He fought to attend medical school, only to drop out due to poverty. When Tope was nearly killed in a gang war, it was Tobi who saved him. That night, he made a second vow: to rebuild their lives or die trying. Against every odd, Tobi earned an international scholarship. He rose--slowly, painfully--into one of the UK's most respected young doctors. He opened a world-renowned private practice in Leamington Spa. He gave his little brother a new chance at life, paid for his rehabilitation and education, and opened a shop for his mother. He had his own family. A future. A name. Until the day everything shattered. Falsely accused of a heinous crime. His medical license--revoked. His private practice--shut down. His home, his cars, his wealth--seized. His marriage--destroyed. His son--estranged. His friends and colleagues--gone. Millions paid in damages. Prison. Then, confined into a mental institution. Then, the streets. Now homeless, penniless, nameless and alone on the streets he once walked as a respected, wealthy doctor. From the heights of honour to the depths of disgrace, Tobi's fall was brutal. And just when it seemed the world couldn't take anything more from him... it did. But.... Tobi has one final act to give. One final stand--not to reclaim his past... But to rewrite the future. You will cry. You will hold your breath. You will not forget.
