Born into poverty and a life of extreme hardship while playing a life-and-death game of hide and seek with wild elephants, rhinos and baboons during his early years, it is almost a miracle Mark survives his childhood in British colonial Kenya. Against this background the determined young boy endures hunger, disease and ignorance. In his struggle to become a cosmopolitan adult, Mark encounters the triple evils of nepotism, bigotry and racism. The entertaining narrative focus is to motivate the reader to strive and reach for the stars. As the title implies, much of what you aspire to is within your grasp if determination and desire are present. Its message is universal and relevant to readers of all ages.
Excerpt: "With tears welling up in our eyes, we quietly herded our goats along the three and a half miles path to our uncle's home, while I kept looking back at the point where our parents had disappeared over the horizon ... hoping they would change their minds and come back."
