Perfect for you if...

You want to understand the 1994 Rwandan genocide through a specific family's experience rather than statistics alone.
You're drawn to survival stories that don't shy away from trauma but centre resilience and the possibility of healing.
You appreciate when an adoptive parent documents their child's true story as an act of love and witness.

Maybe not for you if...

You need distance from graphic descriptions of violence and ethnic cleansing.
You prefer historical fiction that creates emotional space through narrative invention rather than accounts anchored in real atrocity.
You're looking for an uplifting survival narrative without the weight of witnessing.

About this book

Before April 1994, Jeanne lived as a typical Rwandan girl, attending school and spending time with her family. Political violence then erupted against the Tutsi ethnic group. Jeanne's family, who were Tutsis, fled their home seeking safety but were killed in a massacre, along with nearly 1 million others. Jeanne was the sole survivor of her family. During the violence, Jeanne witnessed severe atrocities. She survived through courage, resourcefulness, and determination. Based on a true story, this novel by Jeanne's adoptive mother presents the 1994 Rwandan genocide through one family's experience, documenting both the violence and Jeanne's survival.
