Left to Tell

I read Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust a while ago, but forgot to write anything about it. It is the personal story of a Tutsi woman who survived the massive killing of her people by hiding in the miniscule bathroom of a Hutu pastor with 6 other woman. She is able to pass away the long hours there in prayer and meditation, with the end result being an amazingly strong faith in God and the ability to forgive the men who had murdered her family. The story is simple in its telling--it is only her personal narrative with little of the historical context--but powerful in its message.
