1.Desperately Selfish-Bahati Hilda

Hilda goes all out and expounds the fact that nothing is bigger than one’s self.The love for neighbours can only come if one loves him/herself. Whatever choices one has to take,Hilda emphasizes that '"Desperately Selfish" simply means having the self confidence to live life on your own terms.

Unless you take care of yourself first,one will not be strong enough to care  and love others.

Self confidence boosting read this .

2.The Teenager-Annette M Mpuuga

Annette goes very parental here and worries about how our teenagers, who are the future leaders,can sail through this life of gadgets and all and yet still remain culturally upright.

In this book she challenges the teenagers to turn these pages and learn about their roles as children in a home.From the basics of home management,personal grooming,respecting parents,to discipline of the heart.

Mpuuga ,a mother and wife,hints about the teenager knowing and acknowledging that,”’whereas  their backgrounds and cicumstances may influence who they are,they are entirely responsible for who they become.”

To every teenager,mummy should buy you a copy.
