Immaculee Ilibagiza was raised in a family she treasured and in a nation she adored. However, her perfect world was destroyed in 1994 when a violent genocide broke out in Rwanda. During a three-month killing rampage that claimed the lives of about a million Rwandans, Immaculee's family was ruthlessly slaughtered.
Amazingly, Immaculee made it through the massacre. She and seven other ladies huddled quietly together in the little pastor's toilet for ninety-one days as hundreds of murderers with machetes searched for them.
Immaculee learned the value of prayer during those never-ending hours of unimaginable agony, and as a result, she was able to overcome her fear of dying and establish a close and enduring connection with God. She learned the meaning of really unconditional love when she came out of her toilet hiding place—a love so powerful that it enabled her to find and pardon her family's murderers.
Anyone whose life has been impacted by fear, sorrow, or loss will find inspiration in the inspiring tale of this extraordinary young woman's trek through the darkness of genocide.
