Rwanda Genocide Survivor Reveals Harrowing Details in Biography. Author Ignatius K. Oliphant lends his voice to one Rwandan woman who courageously shares about her ordeal and eventual triumph of the human spirit.
Oliphant’s book is the remarkable true story of Ingabire who was born to a life of torment, suffering, and broken dreams. She never got a chance to live a normal life. Despite all her shortcomings, family rejection, poverty, molestation, genocide, abusive relationships, suicide attempts, and other heartbreaking yet inspiring experiences as a fugitive, she miraculously survived to tell her story of great triumph.
Excerpt
“I had previously thought I heard everything about the horrific event of the Rwanda Genocide until I met Ingabire,” Oliphant admits. “She told me that she had a story to tell, and she was looking for an author… no author in the world would turn her down just after having met her a few hours and learning a little about her past. I knew right then that we were going to produce a book that would change the lives of millions of people—and hers and mine of course.”
