For three months in the spring of 1994; the African nation of Rwanda descended into one of the most vicious and bloody genocides the world has ever seen. Immaculée Ilibagiza; a young university student; miraculously survived the savage killing spree that left most of her family; friends; and a million of her fellow citizens dead. Immaculée’s remarkable story of survival was documented in her first book; Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust. In Led By Faith; Immaculée takes us with her as her remarkable journey continues. Through her simple and eloquent voice; we experience her hardships and heartache as she struggles to survive and to find meaning and purpose in the aftermath of the holocaust. It is the story of a naïve and vulnerable young woman; orphaned and alone; navigating through a bleak and dangerously hostile world with only an abiding faith in God to guide and protect her. Immaculée fends off sinister new predators; seeks out and comforts scores of children orphaned by the genocide; and searches for love and companionship in a land where hatred still flourishes. Then; fearing again for her safety as Rwanda’s war-crime trials begin; Immaculée flees to America to begin a new chapter of her life as a refugee and immigrant—a stranger in a strange land. With the same courage and faith in God that led her through the darkness of genocide; Immaculée discovers a new life that was beyond her wildest dreams as a small girl in a tiny village in one of Africa’s poorest countries. It is in the United States; her adopted country; where Immaculée can finally look back at all that has happened to her and truly understand why God spared her life . . . so that she would be left to tell her story to the world.

Ejemplo de franquezaBy adrianaExcelemte descripción histórica de la ideologÃa del movimiento sandinista; asà como la pérdida de las convicciones de izquierda; la autora no teme la crÃtica; ni de su visión polÃtica ni de su propia vida que la lleva a una serie de contradicciones entre la izquierda utópica y la derecha práctica e implacable.
