He 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?

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.

ESTHER, FROM LONDON
"Coconut Prince is a really great book and very easy to read. It is personable, honest and very entertaining.
I’ve struggled to read properly since Covid started- just found it hard to concentrate but I’m engrossed! My love of reading has come back.
The author has truly lived a fascinating life and has an amazing story that many people people will be moved by. It explores identity issues and family in a way that is unexpected and refreshing. It was a joy to read and I have no doubt you’ll enjoy it as much as I did."
OSA, FROM USA
"I had the pleasure of reading the Coconut Prince. This book was a really easy read and it takes you on an emotional journey through the author's life. From the moment I started reading the book, I wanted to know more. I wanted to understand how someone could suffer such tremendous loss early in his life and still have space for God. It has changed the way I pray and the way I ask for things from "the man up stair". Don't want to give away too much, but the author has a wonderful way of sharing and getting you to use your imagination and go on this magical emotional journey with him. It's a must-read!".
TALIA, FROM UK
"I already knew it was going to be well written but i am honestly shocked at how moved I've been so far by the way he is telling his story. I was hooked by the end of the 1st paragraph! My heart has literally just broken for Tony's after school club experience. At 5 years old I defininetly experienced racism at the hands of teachers but was able to identify it for what it was...because of my family. It was just so sad to read.
Antony will be taking all of his readers on an emotional ride. It's been a brilliant read so far!"
ROWAN, FROM LONDON
"Just finished reading your book, couldn’t put it down. Probably the fastest l have read a book since my first Stephen King as a kid. It was incredibly well written, it was logical and flowed naturally. Your ability to tell a compelling story translated well into written form. I knew I would learn a lot about the authors heritage but the part that interested me was how he found his faith. I think I came away with more questions than answers but I quite like that. I don’t need to know exactly how his brain works, just knowing a bit more about him is enough."
"I’m sure Antony felt I was being Oprah with all my questions...I guess I was preparing him for her.
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 time - a time many would fight against in today’s society – is quite something...."
