It was on a smoldering hot day that the young teen, Jane, was walking briskly from her house toward the street, a break from her usual habit of hiding indoors to avoid a chance encounter with soldiers who could capture her. Suddenly she sensed a shadow overhead, which was accompanied by the dreaded whistling sound of bombs pushing downward through the air. She knew immediately that she was in extreme danger. She quickly looked up to determine the bombs’ direction so she could deduce the best avoidance strategy. Unfortunately, it seemed already too late as the scotching heat above her head indicated the bombs close proximity. Before she could act, everything went dark and there was deadly silence. Later, as she pushed debris out of her mouth, after realizing she was miraculously still alive, Jane had no idea that this astonishing outcome would be just one of many in her future. In a riveting retelling of her experiences as a young girl living through the Nigerian Civil War, Dr. Jane recounts amazing incidences of near-death occurrences with escapes that defy explanation. While inviting others into her journey through the chaos, she encourages us to explore with her whether wartime chaos, and the abundance of impossible odds, could be breeding grounds for divine interventions, miracles, and the inpetus to evaluate events in our lives differently. Loved Beyond Compare is the gripping memoir of a Nigerian girl’s experiences as she and her family struggled to survive the vicious civil war that raged around them.
