Der Weg in die Freiheit
Im Leben eingesperrt
Im ersten Band Ihrer Lebensgeschichte erzählt Miriam von ihren Erlebnissen eines kleines Mädchens in Uganda bis zu ihrem Studium in Kampala. Sie erlebt alles von physischer und seelischer Misshandlung bis zum Eingesperrtsein einem Frauengefängnis wegen einer Intrige ihrer Schwestern.
Diese Erlebnisse haben sie schwer belastet, aber nicht zerstört. Trotz aller Widrigkeiten hat sie weiter gemacht, sei es nur, um die Schwestern nicht gewinnen zu lassen. Die Schande ihres Geburtsnamens „Adongcan“ – die, die arm bleibt – konnte sie auf ihrem Weg nach Deutschland hinter sich lassen und in das Gegenteil umkehren.

Locked Up
Locked Up tells the same story for an international audience. A girl grows up in Uganda, facing physical and psychological abuse, and eventually finds herself in prison with adult offenders — the result of her sisters’ intrigues.
On her journey, she manages to leave behind her shameful birth name “Adongcan – the one who stays poor.”.
Excerpt – Just parts of the book…
“Theft is a very serious crime, young lady,” was the police officer’s reply. “Where are the stolen textbooks? You must get these textbooks tonight or else we will have to arrest you and have your name registered as a thief in our police records” added the police officer. “I did not steal father’s textbooks, sir” was my firm reply. “Miriam, did you not hear what the officer just said? You will have a criminal record and that means you will never be able to freely travel, let alone ever leave our country” These were Moris’ words. I could not believe that the brother, who I followed could say such a thing. It was unbelievable. I was just about to say something, but my words were cut short with the inquires of another officer who had walked in from one of the rooms across. “Did I hear you right? Is this your daughter that you bring to us here this night as a criminal?” He asked my father as he nodded his head with so much disapproval of such an action. Father’s reply was fast and cut. “Yes, she is and with me here are her only brothers, Sham who is her eldest and Moris her elder brother. Moris is studying his degree course at the university. He leaves us tomorrow. She happens to follow my two sons what makes her their younger sister, but not the youngest of my children. I have great hope in her that she too will join the University one day because she is quite an intelligent young girl, but this does not change the fact that she is a criminal. This should not be an excuse for her criminal conduct. Now officers, do your job before the main crime suspect vanishes or hides the entire evidence that has brought us here in the first place. “That has long been taken care off, Mr Omara Vitalis Ojok, our officers are on their way back from the operation. “That is great news gentlemen, do we have to wait until this main suspect is right here?” My eldest brother asked with excitement. “Not really, this is a police investigation case and the official proceedings begin tomorrow, Mr Omara Vitals Ojok.” The officer in charge replied. “It is very unfortunate that I will miss out on these interesting findings although I am very sure that our dear and loving father will inform me of how the events here do turn out.” Interrupted Moris. I was amazed to hear Moris’ last words, I always thought that at least there existed a family for me in him, but tonight’s events have proven me completely wrong, for I was on my own – all alone. We shared so many sweet-bitter memories together as we grew up. They were very special that left many people in so much wonder, the neighbours, our schoolmates and at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s witness. They always looked at us as exemplary siblings with an undying love for each other. Some of the people on the streets have always mistaken us for twins, but on this very day all these memories meant absolutely nothing to him. This reminisces were cut short by what my eldest brother was saying. “I wish you get thoroughly raped by the male prisoners in your cell that you are unable to ever get back on your feet ever!” Sham and I never had such a great relationship. We were cats and dogs when placed in the same room except for this very day. I was the underdog, the disgraced, condemned as a criminal by my own father with no one to defend me. He was the mighty one, the one who could judge me and wish the very worst for me. “Young lady come along with me to your cell.” An officer brought the reality of sleeping in a cell back to my mind. “What an ill-starred young lady she is!” Gasped the officer seated at his desk as he entered the details about me in his file.
