Immaculée Ilibagiza was born and raised in a small village in Rwanda, Africa. The genocide that swept her country in 1994 transformed her life forever. To protect his only daughter, Immaculée’s father sent her to a local pastor’s house. She and seven other women were sheltered in a hidden bathroom for 91 days. To fight the anger and resentment building inside her, Immaculée prayed the rosary. By turning to God and away from hate, Immaculée was saved. After the genocide, she came face-to-face with the man who killed her mother and one of her brothers. After enduring months of physical, mental and spiritual suffering, Immaculée was still able to offer the unthinkable, telling the man, “I forgive you.” Immaculée has written many bestselling books on her experiences and today is regarded as one of the world’s leading speakers on faith, hope, and forgiveness.
