This is an incredible story of “how hatred failed and how love and justice prevailed.” This strong young women came through a tragedy to bring strength and hope to a broken world. The author reads the audio book, which adds even more to the experience. You will laugh, and you will weep. And weep. And weep. A must read.

This really was a powerful book. A horrible massacre in a refuge camp in Africa changed the author's life. There is vivid imagery where the author shares both the beautiful and the horrible memories of Africa, where she was raised. It provides a perspective and world view that is valuable and authentic. I especially enjoy her meeting with Michelle Obama and her perspective on the value of an education. This story inspires hope and fights against hate.
