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

Devastating & heartbreaking memoir telling the story of a young girl fleeing the Rwandan genocide with her older sister. Wamariya’s story highlights the disdainful treatment of refugees in a number of countries on her journey throughout Africa before finally coming to the U.S. Her candor about her experience at Princeton was especially insightful.
