This book is so powerful, I am still having trouble finding words to express my feelings. Briefly, I will say that this story brought my study of Psalms to life. I could never relate to David and his despair at being hunted by Saul. But after reading this book, I feel like I have a miniscule understanding of what it would feel like to be hunted to be killed, to be that afraid for my life. I can't say I would ever understand that kind of feeling unless I lived through it, of course, but Immaculee is very descriptive in her emotions and the disturbing facts of the destruction of her village and her people. But the best part of her story is reading about her faith life through this all. Her faith grew and grew. It's very inspiring to read how her faith brought her through each and every difficulty she faced. She is a huge inspiration to me. A true saint. (also, this book is a easy and quick to read, I read it in 3 days because I couldn't put it down!)
