- Summary
- While some would hail Katwe as a den of failures, Robert Katende sees it as a training ground for future kings and queens. His work has started a movement which has caught the attention of world leaders Bill & Melinda Gates and The Obama Foundation, with many more on the horizon. Once too poor to afford the rat poison with which he planned to take his own life, Roberts legacy tells an astonishing true story of resilience and hope. His work was made famous in the Disney movie Queen of Katwe, a biographical drama about a 13-year-old girl who became a Uganda National Chess Champion under Roberts mentorship. Now readers will get a first-hand account of how it all started, and the life of the man behind Phiona Mutesis world-renown accomplishments. This powerful story is presented in two parts. First from Robert's perspective war refugee turned missionary living the improbable dream to empower kids in Ugandan slums through chess a game so foreign there is no word for it in their native language. And then by debut author Nathan Kiwerepresenting heartfelt testimonies from Katendes students. Youll ride along the deep valleys and the high mountaintops of Roberts childhood as he beats impossibilities that would have likely crushed anyone else! Roberts life illuminates a situation many will find difficult to imagine. However, his life will inspire you to achieve great things against insurmountable obstacles
