I was really busy at the time but thought I'd give it a few pages. The pages FLEW BY!! This is the story of a young 21 year old Tutsi girl living in Rwanda in 1994. It was a bad time to be a Tutsi in Rwanda because certain factions were calling for genocide of the Tutsis, of completely eradicating them from the country.
Fortunately for Immaculee a pastor of a church hid her and 6 other young women in his house in a tiny bathroom. They stayed hidden for 91 days while the killers kept hunting for them and searching the house and grounds. A large cupboard kept the door of the bathroom hidden from sight.
Immaculee talks about her relationship with God and how she found Him during those 91 days. She also wrote a sequel to "Left to Tell" called "Led by Faith"which continues her story after the war and how she moves to the United States.
This Thanksgiving I am thankful for the freedom we have in this country.
Best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving.
