520    "As a little boy, Pacifique Irankunda lived through the 
       thirteen-year civil war in Burundi, the war that upended 
       his home and family, and destroyed Burundi's beautiful 
       culture and traditions. He hid and watched as military 
       units destroyed his village; he and his brother slept in 
       the woods on nights when they heard shooting and violence.
       From his own memories and those of his family, he tells 
       this story of surviving the devastating ethnic divisions 
       and violence in a country that once had a rich and 
       beautiful culture of belief and traditions, destroyed by 
       the aftermath of a history of colonialism. Paci's 
       extraordinary and wise mother, one of the inspiring 
       beacons of light in this book, led her children and others
       in ingenious acts of survival and kindness, through her 
       unique ability to bring out the good in people, generosity
       towards even the soldiers who threatened them, and in her 
       role as a Mushingantahe, an honorary title for a chosen 
       leader in the village"--|cProvided by publisher.
