She runs her own clinic in Nyamirambo and is planning a party for her wedding anniversary. But when genocide starts everything changes. Targeted because she's a successful woman and a Tutsi, she flees for her life. </p><p>This gripping memoir describes the betrayal of friends and help that comes from surprising places. Quick-witted and courageous, Yolande never loses hope she will find her children alive.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>'This book was one of the first literary testimonies that I read in French about Rwanda. I found it profoundly moving -- both realistic and introspective. Thanks to this beautiful translation, it is at long last available to the English-speaking public.'</em> - <strong>Véronique Tadjo</strong></p><p><em>'Reading Yolande Mukagasana's book in French at the age of fifteen changed my life. I realized that genocide is not a mass crime but a single murder repeated hundreds of thousands of times. With this testimony the genocide is no longer just a historical event, it is instead the story of a woman, a mother, a Tutsi. And this is what makes Yolande's account universal.' </em>- <strong>Gaël Faye</strong></p><br>
