A novel for young adults. John Ouma has had enough of village life in the African bush. He's not interested in religion or pleasing God – he wants independence, money, power and success, and dreams of making it big in the city. When his uncle gets him a job at the Ministry of Technology, John leaves his village and begins to enjoy all the delights the city has to offer with his fun-loving girlfriend, Rose. But after getting involved in a difficult issue at work, and a brush with death in a dangerous suburb, John is troubled by an old dream of a diamond mine collapsing. Which of his dreams will come true?
The City Kid is a fast-paced, gripping story of one young man's journey of discovery of identity.
