Families are meant to be the place where love begins and never ends. But in today's world, too many homes are broken by neglect, pride, and the silence of unspoken sacrifices. This powerful book is a call to remember the hands that lifted us-the father who walked miles so we could go to school, the mother who carried burdens so we could walk free, the siblings who stood with us when the world turned away. Yet too often, when success comes, we forget. We forget the sacrifices, the prayers, the tears, and the silent labors that became the foundation of our lives. Through moving stories from Africa, the West, and beyond, *When Clean Hands Lift Dirty Legs* exposes the tragedy of forgotten parents, neglected siblings, and broken family bonds. It challenges us to confront envy, pride, and abandonment-and to restore what family was always meant to be: one for all, and all for one. This is more than a book-it is a mirror to our lives, a call to gratitude, and a reminder that no one rises alone. If you have ever loved, been loved, or longed for reconciliation in your family, these pages will speak to your soul. This book will move you to tears, stir your conscience, and inspire you to pick up the phone, visit a parent, forgive a sibling, or mend a broken bond-before it's too late. Don't let the hands that lifted you be forgotten. Read this book, and let it transform how you see family forever.
