Summary:
"Pacifique Irankunda's childhood in Burundi was marked by a thirteen-year civil war--a grueling struggle that destroyed his home, upended his family, and destroyed Burundi's beautiful culture. As young boys, Irankunda and his brother slept in the woods on nights when the shooting and violence grew too intense; they hid in tall grass and watched as military units rolled in and leveled their village. Irankunda's extraordinary mother, one of many inspiring beacons of light in this book, led her children--and others in the village-in ingenious acts of resilience through her indomitable compassion and kindness, which she extended even to the soldiers who threatened their lives. Drawing on his own memories and those of his family, Pacifique Irankunda tells a story of survival in a country whose rich traditions were lost to the ravages of colonialism and ethnic strife."-- Provided by publisher.
