As if that weren't impressive enough he has also penned his first major novel which appears here as BOUNTIFUL FAMINE - a story based on true historical facts in Africa but woven into a tale about family, about coming of age, and about how influences engaged in walking from childhood toward manhood affect the moral stamina of a prototypical lad in the throes of African wars.
Aranmolate opens his book with a harrowing introduction of a lad bound and bloody in a closed wooden box and once he has our attention and compassion he begins his story by retracing the steps to this incident. Basically the story is that of young Nadus and his closely knit family: Their mother Etiovl'detoc died in childbirth and their father is left to care of his little family as best he can. Famine and drought plague the land but the little family survives.
The boys explore the animals and wilds of their homeland and eventually visit a big city where during their fascination with all that is beyond their grasp financially, the city becomes under siege by rebels.

What Aranmolate adds to his story are many pages of philosophy offered in the simplest terms, words of inspiration not only to Nadus and Tpyge but to the reader as well.

While Aranmolate takes us on a investigation of how cruel soldiers trained children to become killers, how the children and women were abused by the rebels, how the magic and mystery of African cultures interacts with the lives of the people challenged by not only famine but also war, he still takes the time to weave poetry into this book.
Descriptions of nature come easily to him, song-like, as in the following passage: The plastic bags in their hands swung from side to side, colliding repeatedly with their thighs - competing in resonance with the soles of their sandals smacking and welting the wet ground. The young boys raced to complete the imminent five mile journey to the village stream.
