This is a book I never would have read, had it not been chosen by my book club. It's a horrifying autobiographical work written by a woman who survived the Rwandan genocide. It opened my eyes to some of the atrocities that took place there, and for that it was worthwhile.

On the other hand, it's a work of blatantly pro-Christian propaganda. The author attributes her survival to direct intervention by God, and there are several scenes where days of intense prayer lead to some insight or rescue. I have tremendous sympathy for anyone who could survive such an ordeal, but spare me the evangelism, please.
