Riding on a Tiger
is an epic journey of discovery. It is the story of a man lured by both
the thrill of adventure and the courage to lose sight of the shore to
discover the mysteries of the sea of life. This work seeks to
reconstruct the author’s beginnings in a large God-fearing family in the
early decades of the 20^th century and how those beginnings
became the anvil on which his character as an unrelenting businessman
and philanthropist were forged. In this bare-all work, Moody Awori, or
Uncle Moody as many have come to fondly call him, says it all. From how
he came to live in whites-only neighbourhoods before his time, through
the plunge into the tumultuous world of politics, to what led to the
much-famed prison reforms. It is a story of a nation as seen through the
eyes of one who has seen it all.
