The remarkable story of the survival of one woman and her unbelieveable forgiveness of her tormentors. Her life is a lesson of a positive spirit that allows her to move forward with a productive life not hampered by the evil destruction of her family,country,and past life.

The next time I think about whining because I am unhappy about something I am going to remember her story and count my many blessings...... what a brave and inspiritional lady.......

Immaculee's strength makes you take a look at how you are living your own life. Even if you are not a person of faith one can be inspired by her story! I highly recommend!

This book left me feeling as though I had encountered a modern day saint. Immaculee's experiences show the power of prayer and absolute faith in God.
Her ability to forgive and move forward to not let her life experiences cripple her but to take what had happened to her and tell the world - what an example for all mankind!

Compelling story of a woman in a country struggling with warring factions. Her courage and religious faith are truly inspirational.

Parts are intense and talks about murder in some detail. But a great way to be inspired to get closer to your faith and believe more.

We have six very different tastes in the group but we all liked this book!

This book is very eye-opening in regards to recent history. I think anyone who reads this book will benefit with the knowledge and insight they gain. Once it gets going it is very hard to set down--a sign of a great book!

I found this story very inspiring about the strength of the human spirit, well worth reading

Most inspirational book I have ever read. It was difficult to put it down. everyone in our group found it to be a very worthwhile book and we had a terrific discussion.

Truly an amazing book. The story of a young Tutsi woman living in Rwanda during the genocide. Her story will make you cry at the horror but shake your head in disbelief at her incredible faith and ability to not only move forward in her life but find her way to forgive. There is so much to discuss in this book! Faith, forgiveness, family, bravery v cowardice, the list goes on. Definitely recommend!

Serious topic but interesting to read of first-hand account of survival and forgiveness.

The genocide in Rwanda wasn't widely publicized in the 1990s. This book opens your eyes to the tragic events that almost wiped out an entire group of people. The author's faith in God delivers her and the group of women from the killers many, many times. The novel is informative, yet inspiring. We had a great discussion.
