A Voice in the Darkness: Memoir of a Rwandan Genocide Survivor (Unabridged‪)‬

In 1994, Jeanne Celestine, a young Rwandan schoolgirl, was living a quiet life in the countryside when the death of Rwanda’s president provoked a 100-day extermination of over one million ethnic Tutsis. She survived by hiding from violent militiamen all the while caring for her three-year-old twin sisters, Teddy and Teta. 

This inspirational narrative reveals the mind of an innocent child, who, in the face of humanity’s most hideous act, not only managed to preserve her life and the lives of her sisters, but also to restore her voice in the wake of its immense darkness.
