Description
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. Immaculee 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. Immaculee's remarkable story of survival was documented in her first book, Left to Tell
In Led By Faith, Immaculee takes us with her as her remarkable journey continues and she struggles to find meaning and purpose in the aftermath of the holocaust.
Immaculee 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, Immaculee flees to America to begin a new chapter of her life as a refugee and immigrant-a stranger in a strange land. It is here that Immaculee 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 Immaculee can finally look back at all that has happened to her and truly understand why her life was spared . . . so that she would be left to tell her story to the world.
