Strength in What Remains by Tracy Kidder

Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.

— William Wordsworth

I seem to be on a non-fiction kick but it really can be more dramatic and more inspiring than fiction. This is the story of Deo and the atrocities he experiences as he gets caught up in the violence between the Tutsis and the Hutus in Burundi. We then follow Deo through refugee camps and then to the United States where he goes from sleeping in Central Park to college graduate. He is eventually able to return and help his people. His story is amazing and Tracy Kidder's information on the Tutsi/Hutu war is fascinating.
