“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.
How does a girl who lost everything find the strength not only to survive, but to speak for those who can’t?
- Based on a True Story: A gripping, firsthand account of the 2004 Gatumba massacre, where ten-year-old Sandra witnessed the murder of her beloved six-year-old sister, Deborah, and survived a gun pointed at her own head.
- The Immigrant Experience: Journey from a UN refugee camp to middle school in New York, navigating the profound culture shock, racism, and loneliness of being a young immigrant in America.
- Finding Your Voice: Discover how Sandra transformed her trauma into power, using art and photography to tell her story and becoming a celebrated teen activist for human rights on the world stage.
- An Unforgettable Memoir of Resilience: Perfect for teens and adults, this unflinching yet hopeful true story explores the bonds of family, the cost of war, and the courage it takes to not only heal but to speak out.
