Two novellas and three short stories, each set in a different African country; all are devastating and heartbreaking. 💔 Most feature children. This is fiction, but we know it is rooted in truth: exploitation, religious violence, ethnic conflict, poverty, despair.

Ruthiella @rockpools It was. 💔 1mo
Librarybelle It sounds like a hard read but a necessary read. I‘ve not read it, but you‘re probably right that the fiction is rooted in what is happening in reality. 1mo

Heart wrenching true story of loss, war, and trying to find oneself in a broken world.

In 2003, the president of Rwanda unexpectedly granted a pardon to those who committed genocide in 1994. The killers moved right back into their old villages, coming face to face with the survivors of the families of those who they had killed. As you can imagine, that was a tad bit awkward.

If you're wondering why God didn't protect them when they ran to churches, it's because--spoiler alert--he doesn't exist.
