Young rising writer authors his first book “A ray of hope”

In an interview with The Point, the young author explained what motivated him to write the book.

“I grew up seeing the negative effects social media, drugs and loss of parents at a young age and how hard it is on my friends and many other young people in my surrounding. So, I took up the challenge to help people become better and face their challenges by passing on positive messages,” he said.

“A Ray of Hope” is finding peace and strength on the path to recovery, he added.

“In this book, I document real life situations that everyone can draw from and be inspired. The storyline is that of an orphan and I believe so many orphans are silently hurting without people realising it. This result to many youths taking drugs because they think it is a remedy to their sadness but for what they do not know is, that path ends up destroying them,” he further said.

“The book is filled with motivational quotationsto rejuvenate your faith, enliven your spirit and boost your confidence.Simply grab a copy and read through for some inspiration.” He stated.

Touray highlighted that he did the selfless work with over 250 online posts. He noted that since 2019, he has reached an audience of over 2000 people and believes that the best way to invest in young people is by changing their mindset thus becoming the best versions of themselves. “The best way to achieve this is by feeding them the right message,” he also said.

“I have had a lot of feedback from people thanking me for helping them through dark times. It makes me proud and motivated to keep on writing even on my worst days because everyone is silently facing challenges and I am not an exception. Moreover, what has stood out for me over the years is a lot of people asking how I got to the point where I am able to reach out and change lives through my messages. This led me to embark on a new journey of writing a book,” he said.

He assured that the book will help many in their personal struggles with the challenges of life.
