Coconut Prince Antony Aris-Osula

This Is Us'...meets 'Coming to America'...via South-East London!




Is identity more than skin deep?




Does it matter if you're BLACK or WHITE?




All his life he wanted answers. Antony never knew what happened to his mother when she left him as a baby, he grew up not knowing who he was as a black child in a white family - never knowing the answer to his question - who am I?




After an unexpected emotional meltdown opens up a childhood wound, Antony makes it his mission to get those answers he wanted all his life from the only one who can; his missing birth mother. Will he find her and if so will it lead to him finding the missing pieces to his identity that eluded him for thirty years?




Coconut Prince is the author's exciting debut book, sharing personal experiences in the memoir genre, exploring themes of loss, faith, race, and identity through a blend of poignant recollections and

comedic reflections told candidly. You won't regret joining this quest across continents and life hurdles in this raw and honest coming-of-age story.




Foreword by Angie LeMar - acclaimed UK comedienne, writer, and director




"His life story just blew me away and he's not even old. The story of his childhood really felt like a deep upheaval; that maybe he should have been left with some scarring issues in life, or at best an identity crisis. But no, his loving memory of this difficult time - a time many would fight against in today's society - is quite something. It's important to read how he has become an amazing person for it. A spiritual, gifted man, too."
