    About this ebook

    A Tutsi survivor from the 1994 Rwandan Genocide recounts the night he was thrust into adulthood and forced witness the massacre of hundreds of Hutus and Tutsi’s across Rwanda. The story is told through the eyes of a young boy living in Kigali, whose world gets turned upside down when a group of Hutu soldiers attack his village, threaten his family and try to kill him for being a Tutsi. How he survives and if he survives, will leave you hanging off the edge of your seat.
