{"product_id":"the-regal-episodes-9781500976064","title":"The Regal Episodes","description":"Ralph was in awe of his father for his traditional leadership and the pomp and the pageantry that was part and parcel of the package of Chieftaincy. He lives a semi-royal life as the townspeople doted on him for being one of the chief's sons. But the package also included other elements of a traditional leader of the town - the fetish priests, the shines and lesser gods. Ralph was in awe of his mother, the Christian woman whose father was blinded in one eye by a falling mortar as he volunteered his masonry services in the construction of a church. Ralph's parents married long before his father became the chosen one to lead his traditional townspeople. Ralph's mother, still dedicated to her religion, becomes a leader in the church. Ralph finds himself between the two leaderships - the traditions of his father's leadership and his mother's Christian leadership. As circumstances push him further and further from semi-royal providence, Ralph engages in escapades not entirely fit for the son of a chief nor the leader of a Christian church. Bursting with humor, intelligence and heart, The Regal Episodes is a thoughtful and easy reading tale of one man's journey from the limited family opportunities in culturally rich Ghana to the hope and freedom he finds in America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jackson, Abaka H.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781500976064\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.52d","brand":"Abaka H.
