Produktbeschreibung
Karabo has survived the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi that claimed the lives of her father and sisters. Now she is left alone among the wounded hearts of Rwanda, and she doesn't know where her mother is. When Karabo goes to live with her paternal uncle, a colonel in the new army, she meets Shema, another genocide survivor and one of her uncle's young escorts. Shema's charm is appealing, and Karabo wants to surrender her heart to him, but it's complicated -- Shema knows only a part of her story. Hearts Among Ourselves is a story of love, hatred, and where they intersect. Karabo and Shema, both grieving orphans, grow up in a torn society -- caught between the world of the living and the dead, and the conflict between the Hutus and the Tutsis. Some say love is like water-it flows with everything on its way. Will Karabo and Shema be swept up in its current or tossed to the shore?

Autorenporträt
A. Happy Umwagarwa is an author, novelist, storyteller, and poet from Rwanda. In 1994, she survived the genocide against the Tutsi, which took the lives of her father and other members of her family. That experience left her with many puzzles on why people think, feel, and act the way they do. Guided by the quote from Toni Morrison, "If there is a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, you must be the one to write it," Happy states that she writes for herself, her daughters, her compatriots, and the entire of humanity. She hopes her books, stories, and poems shall promote a culture of peace and respect for diversity in her country and beyond. Despite the thorns of life she had to step on, Happy graduated from the University of Greenwich, London, with a master's degree in management, and in addition to her writing endeavors, she works for an international organization as a human resources professional. Happy is married and a mother to two wonderful daughters she calls her little angels. In addition to writing, her passionate interests include singing and poetry performance.
