Autobiography: general; African history; 20th century history: c 1900 to c 2000; Genocide & ethnic cleansing

Ideal book for the 25th anniversary of the genocide: it moves beyond the gore and recasts Rwanda as a place of rebirth that the world can learn from.

An exceptional personal account of a strong woman who survived against all odds and used her gifts to help others.

More than a memoir, this book recounts other amazing stories of healing and reconciliation through the community of surviving widows that the author helped to established.

Sakina Denise Uwimana-Reinhardt was born to Rwandan immigrant parents in Burundi. She later moved to Rwanda, where she met her husband, Charles. When she was twenty-nine, she survived the Rwandan genocide of 1994 with her three sons; her husband was killed. After finding personal healing and reconciliation, she went on to found Iriba Shalom International, an organization that provides material and spiritual help to genocide survivors. She remarried and now lives with her husband, Dr. Wolfgang Reinhardt, in Kassel, Germany. Together they continue to work for healing in Rwanda.
