pickWhat a great story about a refugee who survived a massacre in the DR of Congo. She continues her memoir by explaining her journey to the US and how she had to learn how to feel herself in a forgein country.
pickThe reading level is pretty easy that I feel like a sixth grader could understand it; however, it does talk about war, violence, and sexual assault might not be appropriate for young readers.

pickWOW! This is a memoir written by a someone who survived the Gatumba Massacre. Sometimes graphic, but well written.
But I have learned that if we want to change the world, we can‘t harden our hearts and shut ourselves off from other cultures. We must open up our hearts. We must not fall prey to the kind of thinking that separates us.
pickSad but Necessary story. She tells of her life in Africa dealing with wars and genocide, and then her immigration to America. She is a great story teller. It‘s an excellent read.
pickWhen you need a good cry or you need to feel helpless, read this book! It was so compelling. Sandra was just out of her teens when she wrote this, and no one shoyld have to deal with what she has gone through. It's a perfect non-fictipn book for #yawednesday!

“This profoundly moving memoir is the remarkable and inspiring true story of Sandra Uwiringiyimana, a girl from the Democratic Republic of the Congo who tells the tale of how she survived a massacre, immigrated to America, and overcame her trauma through art and #activism... This gut-wrenching, poetic #memoir reminds us that no life story can be reduced to the word #refugee...” #TBR Day 25: #Sunshine #MarchIntoOz
“Anyone who thinks it‘s easy to get to the States as a refugee has no idea.”
