In the bathroom she battled with her worst fears and in the midst of her darkness she found the light of God. This is her story of her survival and the lessons of unconditional love and forgiveness that she learnt through it to the extent that when she finally met the killers of her family she was able to forgive them. It is a truly beautiful and moving autobiography. It will move you to tears and at the same time make you weep in joy at the love that God has for all of us and its power to heal and forgive even in the midst of great suffering. It is a timeless story of the strength of the human spirit to rise above all challenges and tap into the deep reservoir of strength within. The story of Immaculee Ilibagiza and her love and strength to overcome all odds will become a part of you by the time you finish this book.
"Forgiveness is a favor to yourself, not a favor to the person you are forgiving. You free your heart to love again. The only way to fight the evil is to love each other."
~ Immaculee Ilibagiza
