Nelly Opiyo grew up in Homa Bay, Kenya, right by the shores of the world's freshest water lake: Lake Victoria. There, she watched in awe as the twin challenges of poverty and the place of the girl-child conspired to deny many girls a chance at realizing their dreams. In Beyond The Rising Tide,
Nelly, the determined go-getter, narrates her rise from that wounded beginning to live her dream in world capitals because of her prayerful mother; and because of the enduring power of a dream.
