How Dare the Sun Rise: Memoirs of a War Child by Sandra Uwiringiyimana, Abigail Pesta

5.0

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.
