Summary

In 1994, Immaculee’s short Easter vacation turned into a 91-day siege, while the Hutu tribe set out to massacre as many members of the Tutsi tribe as they could find. Immaculee joins Katherine to talk about hiding from killers, and how she found it in her heart to forgive them their trespasses.  You can get a copy of Katherine's book, The Gift of Forgiveness, wherever books are sold.
