Letters to Chenani: On Failure, Faith, and Finding the Way Home

A father's love. A devastating loss. A legacy written one letter at a time.
When Akin Ibitoye's life fell apart, he was left with nothing but a broken heart and a desperate need to connect with the son he could no longer see. So he began to write.
What started as a single, heartfelt letter in a private diary grew into a powerful collection of wisdom, a father's attempt to guide his son through a world he would have to navigate without him always by his side. But to teach his son about life, Akin had to first confront his own.
In Letters to Chenani, Ibitoye shares a raw, unflinching, and ultimately hopeful story of a life defined by resilience. From his early fascination with technology and the sting of academic failure, to the crushing pain of losing his family and the quiet grace of finding new love, this is more than a memoir. It is a testament to the fact that our greatest lessons are often born from our deepest wounds. It is a guide to finding your purpose, a celebration of true mentorship, and a reminder that your story is never truly over.
This book is a gift for any parent, a guide for any person seeking their way, and a powerful story of how the words we write can build a bridge back to the ones we love.
