<p><strong>An unforgettable first-person account of surviving the Rwandan genocide and its aftermath</strong></p>

<p><strong>Featuring a foreword by <em>Globe and Mail </em>Africa Bureau Chief Geoffrey York</strong></p>

<p>In 1994, Obadiah was the thirteen-year-old son of a Hutu pastor, living comfortably in Rwanda and dreaming of becoming a pilot, when violence and bloodshed began to engulf the country. His family soon fled their home, pursued by soldiers and stalked by death and hunger. As the genocide led into a horrific war, Obadiah was forced to survive unrelenting terror and the darkest despair as a refugee, both in neighbouring Zaire and eventually in the American refugee detention system. Obadiah was sustained through these horrors by his faith and the philosophy of <em>ubuntu</em> — finding one’s self through connection with others.</p>

<p>In the spirit of <em>Night</em> by Elie Wiesel, <em>Die Walking</em> is one boy’s horrific story of shared humanity in a chaotic world.<br>
