Born at the end of the world, where the horizon feels like both a boundary and a beginning. There is something profoundly moving about looking back at the soil that grew you, especially when it feels so far removed from the rest of the map.
Learning about our past isn’t just about collecting facts; it’s about discovering the anchors that keep us steady. When you uncover where you came from, you gain a fierce sense of belonging, a deeper empathy for the giants whose shoulders you stand on, and a map for where you’re headed next. To know your history is to realize you were never truly isolated—you were just the start of a brand-new chapter.

A proud, deeply moving moment for us at the TBC Penmanship Awards 2026 ✨

Witnessing Deborah Auko’s Rough Silk receive this honor is a beautiful testament to the power of storytelling. This book is a bridge—connecting disparate worlds through shared resilience, grit, and healing. It takes the rawest, roughest parts of the human experience and weaves them into something undeniably powerful.
Our deepest gratitude to Text Book Centre for the recognition, to the readers who have opened their hearts to this story, and to Deborah Auko for trusting us with your voice. The literary landscape is richer because of you. 📚❤️
