Publisher's summary

In 1994, Immaculee Ilibagiza's world was ripped apart when her native country of Rwanda descended into a bloody genocide. Her family was brutally murdered during a killing spree that lasted three months and claimed the lives of nearly a million Rwandans.

Miraculously, Immaculee survived the slaughter. For 91 days, she and seven other women huddled silently together in the cramped bathroom of a local pastor while hundreds of machete-wielding killers hunted for them. It was during those endless hours of unspeakable terror that Immaculee forged a profound and lasting relationship with God.

The triumphant story of this remarkable woman's journey through the darkness of genocide will inspire anyone whose life has been touched by fear, suffering, and loss.

Critic reviews

"Ilibagiza's remarkable path to forgiving the perpetrators and releasing her anger is a beacon to others who have suffered injustice....This book is a precious addition to the literature that tries to make sense of humankind's seemingly bottomless depravity." (Publishers Weekly)

Thank you Immaculee...yes God is Love

This book is very inspirational. I am a Catholic and have been through many obstacles. Although not as brutal as Immaculee has been through. Like Immaculee I also know that without God in my life I would not be here today. God has a plan for me. Hue has also put me on a path here on this earth. God is also my Saviour. This book has opened my eyes further to God's love. Thank you Immaculee for sharing your story to myself and others.

FANTASTIC!!!

Any additional comments?

Inspiring! Awesome uplifting read. Hard at times because it really happened and does happen. Yet it is a great reminder that God does exist, as well as Satin. We can do and are capable of doing so much and doing so much good when we try to look to God... and just try.
