FORGIVENESS
First AbFab Geek recommended I read it, then my friend Toeless sent me the book, so I finally sat down one day and started it. I'll be honest with you, the subject of Rwandan genocide was one I was happy to avoid, but Toeless and AbFab both said I would love it, both said it would be life changing, and both have my best interest at heart, so I trusted them and dove in. I barely came up for air.
The book is amazing for many reasons, but what struck me the most was Immaculee's ability to forgive. I am telling you, if you are struggling to forgive someone, this book will help put it all in perspective. If she is able to truly forgive and find peace, there is hope for the rest of us.
Immaculee has two other books which I just picked up and can't wait to start reading, and the third one is all about Mary.
Say no more.

Thanks for the review -- it looks fascinating.
Just a guess, but it sounds like Immaculee has harmony in her soul.
as someone still climbing up that forgiveness mountain, I will read this.
I wouldn't have otherwise, so your shout out is much appreciated.
I'm skeered.
"Motherless Daughters" set me way back for quite a while and it got rave reviews from our group of mommies.
She and HHDL. I'm just sayin'.
No accidents.
I've heard that forgiveness is the secret to happiness. Makes sense, since it's such a hard thing to achieve.
Southern GFCF,
I was scared, too. I have a really hard time reading about man's inhumanity towards man. I will tell you that it is written in such a way that it is readable, and the power of the story trumps the darkness of the events.
This is an amazing story. I love that it's leading you to another conversation with Mary.
Of COURSE the third one is all about MARY!!!! xo
I can't wait for you to read the next two books. The story is amazing, if it were fiction, we would call it way over the top.
Thanks for this - I'll have to check it out!
Did you know I heard her speak? She was touring with Wayne Dyer, and this book had just come out...She was amazing. Truely, truely special.
:)
