Strength in What Remains: A Journey of Remembrance and Forgiveness
by Tracy Kidder
Description
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tracy Kidder comes an inspiring true story of resilience and redemption. Deo, a young survivor of Burundi's devastating civil war and genocide, arrives in America with nothing but determination and an unshakeable will to rebuild his life. Working odd jobs and teaching himself English through dictionary readings in bookstores, Deo encounters a series of compassionate strangers whose mentorship and support gradually transform his circumstances. This remarkable journey traces his path from homelessness and poverty to Columbia University and medical school, ultimately revealing how one man's courage to forgive and heal becomes a beacon for others. Kidder's masterful narrative celebrates the power of human connection and the strength found in moving beyond trauma toward purpose.
