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

4.0

I truly appreciated the originality and insight that Clemantine Wamariya has brought to a growing canon of refugee stories with this work. She presents her very individual experience and does not look for pity or embrace tragedy but rather gifts the story of her path to the reader to create a broader understanding of this global reality and also to help the reader see that we all have hidden depths that we can reach into when we need strength and courage.
