The Girl Who Smiled Beads: A Story of War and What Comes After by Clemantine Wamariya

4.0

4.5...Wow!! What a magnificently, powerful and emotionally raw memoir. This greatly impacted my entire being--down to the most basic fiber. Additionally, I was surprised at how effectively it humbled me--making me aware of my ignorance and my sheltered experiences. I now realize that US refugee status does not necessarily aid in the healing of life's horror-filled transgressions--that perhaps, there is no correct formula for healing.

I was sent this ARC with the understanding that I would provide an honest review (To be released to the general public in April of 2018). Thank you, so very much for providing me with this masterful story.
