Book Review of Strength in What Remains

Strength in What Remains
icantswim avatar reviewed on + 72 more book reviews


This book, nonfiction, is the story of Deo Niyizonkiza, who escaped a Burundian civil war and genocide, and, amazingly, found his way to New York. He revisits his childhood, his arrival to the U.S., and his return back to Burundi. The book includes a most uplifting epilogue.

I can't say enough about the impact this book will have upon your soul. I believe this book is necessary for the exposure it brings and helps to educate readers as to the world around them.

Deo is the recipient of the 2014 Dalai Lama Unsung Hero of Compassion Award.
