About the Book

A photojournalist consumed by his passion for telling stories through his camera lens, a father and son at a war of wills, and lovers struggling to find a way to each other. A Life in Frames follows the life of Namibian photojournalist Lejf Busher as he navigates through childhood and manhood in this coming-of-age literary saga. Two women are central to Lejf's existence: his mother and the woman he loves. Destined for success and international acclaim, he discovers the complex reality of a career that separates him from his relationships. His mother is a beacon of strength, but he feels unsupported by his father. Lejf wants that acceptance. He also longs to succeed romantically with his great love, but her own search for independence and escape from a conservative upbringing widens the distance between them. Lejf's expectations of a world and people he cannot change force him to confront his fears and choices when he can no longer run from them. A Life in Frames is about the push and pull between the ties that bind us and the desires that motivate us. It is also about coming to grips with the consequences of unspoken and misinterpreted words.

About the Author :
Canadian author Leonora Ross transitioned from a background in law to pursue her passion for art and, in recent years, writing. Her writing and photography regularly appear in literary journals. She has also authored two women's fiction novels. Her love and respect for the people and places of Southern Africa, where she grew up, inspired her to write A Life in Frames. She is passionate about the natural world and a strong advocate for responsible consumer and sustainability practices.

Review :
'Leonora Ross crafts a creative juxtaposition between art, politics, ideals, and "little people with big hearts" whose interests and efforts result in a thought-provoking series of clashes. Libraries welcoming novels about Africa and individual evolution will appreciate the many opportunities Ross offers for patrons and reading groups to consider African traditions as they intersect with love, risk-taking, and growth. Packed with "aha" moments of discovery and transformation, A Life in Frames explores the awakening of a continent and a boy whose childhood provokes an uncommon path as an adult. Readers will find this engaging and enlightening survey is filled with exquisite moments of wonder and reflection about states of mind and mindsets of Africans as they move into a Western-centric world: "...when globalisation penetrates the world of Indigenous people, there's a common conflict that arises within those communities, between traditions that are upheld by the older generations versus the desire of younger generations to learn new things and to become modern. When I spoke with the Basarwa in New Xade, they told me they wish to live the way they have done for thousands of years. I don't know if they would feel different about it if their lives weren't so hard - if they had better opportunities. Perspectives change with circumstances. Yet they speak of their longing to roam the Kalahari. I can't help but wonder if it has something to do with who they are; how something in their spirits will always remain free and untouched."' -D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review and Editor, Donovan's Literary Services
