*****"Left to Tell" is a gripping, moving story of Immaculee Ilibagiza, a young woman who survived the Rawandan genocide. What makes this book different than "Hotel Rwanda" and other similar books is that a major portion of the book is devoted to the author's time spent hiding in bathroom, praying and meditating and coming closer to God.
Immaculee was raised Catholic, but the spirituality of the book has a universal appeal. Published by Hay House and promoted by Wayne Dyer, it has an appeal that will inspire even an atheist (while not offending them) and bolster the faith of those who already believe in God, whatever they conceive God to be. This is a story of the triumph of a human spirit, and about our interconnectedness. It is a story of a country who suffered while ignored by the rest of the world. It is a story of incredible suffering of so many, and gives those of us who have not suffered the way Immaculee has the benefits of lessons that we could learn in no other way.
