In this the book I journey with you through the corridors of life, particularly in the aftermath of adversities. I have unraveled the profound simplicity and intricate complexity encapsulated within life’s equation, shaped by two pivotal variables: truth and dare, facts and unknown. This dichotomy, in my perception, encapsulates the entirety of our odyssey called life.

Within the pages of When Light Fades Away, Hope Remains, my endeavor is twofold: an acknowledgment of adversities’ existence interwoven in my life’s fabric, coupled with the unwavering conviction that daring to persist in the face of these facts preserves a radiant, unfading ember of hope. Vulnerable truths unveiled herein, I aspire, will embolden you to dare, to love, to pursue fervently the passions almost stifled by heartaches.

Words of Praise

Thanks a lot for the beautiful book Willy! I'm already halfway through it. You've moved me already several times. Although very hard, I believe you are very blessed to have so much love in your life.

"I just finished your book. Very inspirational! I knew you were going through tough times but could never imagine the journey you were on, nor did I have an appreciation of what you went through in your childhood. In the time that I had the pleasure to work with you, you remined outwardly very professional and did more than asked and expected. Thank you for all you did while we worked together and thank you for the lessons you taught me in your book. I just hope the compassion and empathy I felt for you during your journey helped ease your burdens in some small way at the time they were needed most. Merry Christmas! Best to you and your family. You are truly a role model and an inspiration to us all."

"I received your book yesterday and before bed, I read your handwritten note and your acknowledgments. Thank you for the kind words for me and all your coworkers. This morning I began reading the book and I am now through chapter 3. This book is a blessing. I'm sure all who read it will appreciate the vulnerability it took you to share this story. You have inspired me, and given me much to think about. God bless you."

Willy, Estelle, and their family's story is a heartwarming and inspiring testimony that tells the power of faith, hope, and love. Willy takes the reader on a journey into his and Estelle's life and invites the reader to join him through a journey of challenges, trials, and triumphs, all while travel with them from Africa to Europe and eventually Canada. When Light Fades Away Hope Remains is a beautiful story of love, redeemed hope, and the power of God. A must-read for anyone who is looking for an inspirational read.
