Living with purpose. 520 $a Spared is the gripping story of a young girl's harrowing escape from one of the worst genocides in human history. It recounts the author's direct experiences during the Rwandan tragedy that resulted in the deaths of over one million people. Deeply rooted in her unflagging faith in God, Clementine Msengi's memoir offers readers a rare glimpse into the life and culture of pre-genocide Rwanda. The book details how she eluded marauding killers with the help of unlikely allies, and it recounts her unsettling experiences as a frightened refugee. In the end, Spared highlights Msengi's ultimate victory through becoming an American citizen, an award-winning community leader, and a respected academic. The book is a remarkable, one-of-a-kind adventure told in the author's own voice. 600 10 $a Msengi, Clementine M. 650 0 $a Genocide $z Rwanda $x History $v Personal narratives. 651 0 $a Rwanda $x History $y Civil War, 1994 $v Personal narratives. 650 0 $a Refugees $x Government policy $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Refugees $z South Africa. 651 0 $a South Africa $x Social conditions. 650 7 $a Genocide. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00940208 650 7 $a Refugees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092797 650 7 $a Refugees $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092811 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a Rwanda. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01212358 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 648 7 $a 1994 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Personal narratives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423843 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240224011009.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6D8C9840D2E211EE84426D1826ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
