“This gut-wrenching, poetic memoir reminds us that no life story can be reduced to the word ‘refugee.’" —New York Times Book Review

“A critical piece of literature, contributing to the larger refugee narrative in a way that is complex and nuanced.” —School Library Journal (starred review)

This profoundly moving memoir is the remarkable and inspiring true story of Sandra Uwiringiyimana, a girl from the Democratic Republic of the Congo who tells the tale of how she survived a massacre, immigrated to America, and overcame her trauma through art and activism.

Sandra was just ten years old when she found herself with a gun pointed at her head. She had watched as rebels gunned down her mother and six-year-old sister in a refugee camp. Remarkably, the rebel didn’t pull the trigger, and Sandra escaped.

Thus began a new life for her and her surviving family members. With no home and no money, they struggled to stay alive. Eventually, through a United Nations refugee program, they moved to America, only to face yet another ethnic disconnect. Sandra may have crossed an ocean, but there was now a much wider divide she had to overcome. And it started with middle school in New York.

In this memoir, Sandra tells the story of her survival, of finding her place in a new country, of her hope for the future, and how she found a way to give voice to her people.

Interesting - One of my favorites.. I initially read this book because I had to choose a biography for my English Honors class but I am so glad that this was the book I picked up. It tells the facts and descriptions perfectly through a story format. It did a great job on making the writing feel so personal and touching. Sandra’s story is not only heartbreaking and intriguing, but it also leaves you wanting to know more. I was never the type of person to read often but this was a book where I kept opening it every chance I had. This has become one of my favorite books. Her goal to let kids around the world know and hear her story has come true as I am only 14 years old. Would definitely recommend this book to anyone. PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!

It’s informative. The book was amazing. I thought it would talk about war more but even the smallest insight of it is scary for anyone. I’d introduce this book to anyone looking for books about struggling to fit in or women inspiring women. Overall good book.👌
