As an African child from a very poor family, author Winston Matafwali was struck by polio at the age of two years and was left paralyzed from the hips down. He could not walk at all. For a long time, he was angry and deeply resented what seemed to be an unfair stroke of fate. In One Shoe in Africa, he tells the story of how he struggled as a young person to come to terms with his disability.

He also shares the details of his spiritual journey as a young and immature child of God and how one missing shoe connected him to a lifelong friend who helped him see the hand of God upon his life.

One Shoe in Africa is also a story about how God uses good, bad, and even the ugly situations in our life to show his strength through his plans for us, which we rarely, if ever, understand until we look back many years later.
