Immacule has an amazing story and this is a must read especially for anyone struggling with forgiveness. The book details her early life and survival during the Rwandan holocaust in 1994, which the 'rich' nations basically did nothing while ovwe 1 million people were murdered. Amazing story of courage, finding the will to survive and hang on and on moving on later. brillant and life-changing. ( )

What a tragic event that took place in Rwanda...I wasn't even aware of the atrocities there...and it wasn't that long ago.

Again the caste system was what caused all the trouble...people thinking they are better than someone else and thinking they must kill them.

My favorite line from the book is: I envision, I dream, I pray, and I have what I want.

It is a wonderful book to realize that prayer does work.

It is depressing, but the uplifting religious aspect keeps you reading.

Awesome, must read

I am so sheltered! ( )

This book will bring tears to your eyes. It's the autobiography of Immaculee Ilibagiza who survived the Rwandan Holocaust.

Most of Immaculee's family is killed during the genocide but she survives hidden in a small bathroom with 8 other women. While in hiding she strengthens her relationship with God. Instead of breaking under the traumatic experience of a war and losing her loved ones, she never loses her optimism and faith.

This woman should be an inspiration to all of us. How often do we find ourselves complaining about trivial things? Yet Imaculee faced the worst of the worst and coped with it graciously without any complaint at all. It takes a very strong person to be able to do that. And I applaud her for sharing her story with us. ( )
