Has anyone here read "Left to Tell"
By Immaculee Ilibagiza?

I am getting this book - it is an autobiographical account of the genocide in Rwanda, and how this one Tutsi woman survived being hunted by the Hutus.

2. It does
but apparently it is an awesomely inspiring story as well. Kind of one of those triumph of the human spirit things.

3. You know, I picked it up in Costco the other day and almost put it
in my basket. But I've been dealing with some mood issues lately so I figured I would hold off for a brighter day. Shame on me, I know. :(

Good to see you. :hug:

4. No shame
It's not your obligation to share the world's pain. Not doing so does not make you a bad person.

5. Good to see you too
There is no shame in saving something like that for later!
