Till Tomorrow
David Mugisha, a popular athlete, faces ruin after an accident leaves him crippled for life. With the help of his foster sister, he battles with the demons of his past. Having surrounded himself with superficial friends and put his entire future plans in athletics, he is left alone and without money.
He is soon employed as a journalist by a prominent newspaper to cover a nationwide competition and with the help of his ex-coach, Christopher, he uncovers a corruption scandal involving three wealthy and well respected men. One of those men is partly responsible for his irreversible spinal injury.
He spends a massive amount of his time looking at the world through an overly critical eye and stubbornly refuses to come out of his pit of gloom. He constantly tries to reconnect with his past to see if he can come to terms with his tragedy. His attempt to expose the corruption scandal gives him the feeling that his life may not have ended in total ruin.
After he fails to bring the culprits to justice he is tempted to slip back into his depression. A few unlikely people help him finally grasp the meaning of moving on.

The story was interesting but there were many grammatical errors, missing words, and incorrect words.

A man who is not sure he can fight against the shock and increasing despair from the destruction of his career and physical self as an athlete. This is an intriguing short novel that shows us a glimpse into Mr. Mugisha's world and how he either finds or doesn't find something worth building on within himself after he has lost everything he knew himself to be. Who is he? A narcissist? An incredible athlete? A disheveled stinking mess of a man with no education? Is it worth it to rebuild a life anew or just let the agony of self loathing and physical pain consume and deteriorate until he is nothing but a memory.
To fight the depression is to fight against his own view of himself and what he has lost. Only identifying himself as one thing and ignoring sound advice to widen his world through college education as well as focusing on his chosen career is a burden many people can relate to, or be seen as a cautionary tale. Not to mention the caution that fame and fortune is indeed not everything there is to life unless you have people who actually care about you for you.
For the plot there is questions risen about his accident, and the corrupt political figures that run most of the area. There is murder, misunderstanding, and some naiveté that borders on stupidity. The first two pages didn't immediately grip me, but after a bit it definitely picked up and drew me in. I will say in negative though that there are some repeated (extra/unnecessary) words along with a few typos and some words missing from sentences. The mistakes were not enough to bother me or ruin the story. I received this novel for free from the author, and am quite happy to have read this. Thank you.
