I met Immaculee Ilibagiza. I was absolutely drawn to her in the middle of the book fair. She is one of those people that when you are around her, you know you are in the presence of someone very special. I obtained the book "Left to Tell" and had her sign it for me. I had never been drawn to this type of book before, but after meeting her, I had to read it. I couldn't put it down. It was the most beautiful expression of living a true Christian life in the face of unbelievable adversity that I had ever read. She is truly a special person and anyone who reads this book is blessed. I read a review of this book one week and saw that she was to be at the Louisiana State Book Fair. I met Immaculee Ilibagiza.

I wouldn't choose one over the other, though. They were two different women, leading 2 different lives. I learned from both of the books- and narrative/writing style wise I enjoyed EPL much better. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that I'm not reading Ilibagiza's memoir in her original language (she had someone help her write the English book) but I do wish the narrative was a bit more engaging. I still regarded her story highly, and am looking forward to meeting her in person next month in NYC!

Do you have any suggestions on some great books for ME that I could possibly teach as well? Thanks so much!
