A Hundred Days of Carnage, Twenty-Five Years of Rebirth In the
space of a hundred days, a million Tutsi in Rwanda were slaughtered
by their Hutu neighbors. At the height of the genocide, as men with
bloody machetes ransacked her home, Denise Uwimana gave birth to
her third son. With the unlikely help of Hutu Good Samaritans, she
and her children survived. Her husband and other family members
were not as lucky. If this were only a memoir of those chilling
days and the long, hard road to personal healing and freedom from
her past, it would be remarkable enough. But Uwimana didn't stop
there. Leaving a secure job in business, she devoted the rest of
her life to restoring her country by empowering other genocide
widows to band together, tell their stories, find healing, and
rebuild their lives. The stories she has uncovered through her work
and recounted here illustrate the complex and unfinished work of
truth-telling, recovery, and reconciliation that may be Rwanda's
lasting legacy. Rising above their nation's past, Rwanda's genocide
survivors are teaching the world the secret to healing the wound of
war and ethnic conflict. Includes 16 pages of color photographs.
