The Jagged Path

A Journey From Heartbreak to

Hope

Charlotte Osho

KEY SELLING POINTS
An insight into British life from a rarely heard perspective, that of a Nigerian immigrant in the 1960’s.
A story of hope, of never giving up, of faith in God and of believing in your dreams.
An inspiring journey from difficult beginnings, through hardships to a fulfilled life.
The Jagged Path tells the story of a young girl’s journey from an idyllic life in rural 1940’s Nigeria, through the
heartbreak of losing her parents, tumultuous years with uncaring guardians, an abusive marriage which ended
in betrayal, to finally finding hope and happiness.

In this powerful tale of resilience, fortitude and faith, Charlotte Osho describes arriving in mid-sixties London
faced with an onslaught of new experiences, unfamiliar foods, a very different climate and of course, the shock
of racism. But though she quickly adjusted to her new home, dreams of a happy marriage and security were
soon shattered by a husband who became emotionally, financially and physically abusive. Left to raise their
three children alone, Osho was, at times, bereft, uncertain how she would overcome these challenging
circumstances. But through a chance conversation with a colleague, she reconnected with the church, finally
finding the fellowship and sense of community she had been looking for. And through her new-found faith she
gained the resilience to keep fighting, truly building a life on her own terms and the confidence to develop her
nursing career to support her young family.

Charlotte Osho was born in Isire, Nigeria moving to the United Kingdom in the mid-sixties. There, she trained
as an NHS nurse, dedicating over forty years to the service. She is an artist and committed Christian. Charlotte
lives in East Londo
