Non-Fiction Memoir | Non-Fiction Biography
For three months in the spring of 1994, the African nation
of Rwanda descended into one of the most vicious and bloody
genocides the world has ever seen. Immaculée Ilibagiza, a
young university student, miraculously survived the savage
killing spree that left most of her family, friends, and a
million of her fellow citizens dead. Immaculée’s remarkable
story of survival was documented in her first book, Left
to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust.
In Led By Faith, Immaculée takes us with her as her
remarkable journey continues. Through her simple and
eloquent voice, we experience her hardships and heartache as
she struggles to survive and to find meaning and purpose in
the aftermath of the holocaust. It is the story of a naïve
and vulnerable young woman, orphaned and alone, navigating
through a bleak and dangerously hostile world with only an
abiding faith in God to guide and protect her. Immaculée
fends off sinister new predators, seeks out and comforts
scores of children orphaned by the genocide, and searches
for love and companionship in a land where hatred still
flourishes. Then, fearing again for her safety as Rwanda’s
war-crime trials begin, Immaculée flees to America to begin
a new chapter of her life as a refugee and immigrant—a
stranger in a strange land.
With the same courage and faith in God that led her through
the darkness of genocide, Immaculée discovers a new life
that was beyond her wildest dreams as a small girl in a tiny
village in one of Africa’s poorest countries.
It is in the United States, her adopted country, where
Immaculée can finally look back at all that has happened to
her and truly understand why God spared her life . . . so
that she would be left to tell her story to the world.
