If you grew up waiting for a mother who never came back, this book was written for you. At nine years old, Saiton Righa watched her mother leave Kenya for a better life, and spent the next two decades carrying the hidden weight of that absence. Missing My Mummy is her powerful memoir of abandonment, identity loss, and an extraordinary healing journey that begins where most conversations about economic migration with the child left behind. This is not just a Kenyan writer's story. It is the story of every motherless daughter who learned to perform wholeness while quietly falling apart; every Black Christian woman who searched for herself in the silence her mother left. Through prayer, therapy, and an unwavering faith, Saiton discovered that losing a mother to migration is its own kind of grief. A grief without a grave. A mourning without permission. A grief so strong that even reunification's joy does not erase it. Written as a testimony of survival and a declaration of hope, Missing My Mummy speaks on the spiritual grief journey of abandonment and on the God who meets you in it. It is an African autobiography of resilience that reminds separation can wound deeply, but restoration is possible, and healing can ripple across generations. Read Missing My Mummy and begin your journey back to yourself. You are not alone, and wholeness is still available to you,
