As we forgive

Papa is reading a book. "As we forgive" by Catherine Claire Larson, which is a book about the Rwandan genocide. The books makes for painful reading, but not because it is badly written. As the preface to the book states:

"...But this is not a path, nor a book, for the faint of heart."

In a hundred days of slaughter, an estimated 800,000 to a million Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed, some 300,000 of them were thought to be children, while another 95,000 children lost one or both parents. Subsequently many of the men who murdered their neighbours were later released back into their neighbourhoods. Some 60,000 men now live amidst their victims and family of their victims.
