giulia_and_books's review against another edition
This book is a must read for everyone. It gives readers an insight into the unthinkable life and experiences of a refugee, specifically from the Republic of Congo and people seeking refuge in the United States.
The author, Sandra Uwiringiyimana, puts her thoughts into word so masterfully. Her words are packed with a punch and leave you sitting there wondering about what you read for the rest of the day and the few days following. I can’t even being to comprehend her experiences and understand what she went through. I commend her for her bravery and courage for telling her story and spreading awareness of refugee experiences and hardships. Like she closed at the end of the author’s note of her memoir, “There is power in our voices. The more of us speak up, the more likely we are to be heard.”
Go read this and listen to her story.
