How Dare the Sun Rise: Memoirs of a War Child

This is a tricky book to review. Sandra Uwiringiyimana's story is difficult and important. I wasn't familiar with the Gatumba massacre before, so this definitely did the job of bringing awareness to the story. And as difficult as it was to read, the beginning part of the book including the massacre and the aftermath was descriptive and really takes the reader there. However, a lot of the rest of the book seemed to be a case of telling rather than showing. Uwiringiyimana rushes through a lot of the ups and downs of her life in the U.S. in the second half of the book.
