~~|title=Grass to Grace~~

~~|rating=3.5~~

~~|genre=General Fiction~~

|summary=Odin Ndukaku was the last of four children to still be alive and he was an orphan. Life had not been kind to him, but he was strong and could do odd jobs to earn enough money for food. He had no thoughts of what he might do in the future: it seemed like a waste of time as he had no skills. He was simply surviving. All this changed one morning when he was eating his breakfast in his small hut and it began to rain. The rain came in through the roof and ruined his breakfast. It struck him that at the age of 29 he had very little. His only friend in the town of Agibi, Ndu, came to see him and Odin was cross, accusing Ndu of failing to help him. Ndu was husband, father, owner of livestock - all the things that are of importance in Igbo society - whilst Odin had just the few possessions which could be seen in the hut. Had Ndu ever given him advice?
