Jeanne Kenyana Senga is an amazing, living example of what one woman can accomplish, even under incredibly difficult physical and emotional circumstances, including suffering the loss of many loved ones, and witnessing first-hand the atrocities committed during multiple wars in Africa.

Jeanne Kenyana Senga is an amazing, living example of what one woman can accomplish, even under incredibly difficult physical and emotional circumstances, including suffering the loss of many loved ones, and witnessing first-hand the atrocities committed during multiple wars in Africa. During the Rwandan civil war/genocide, Jeanne herself was on a "hit list" by name, and was hunted down by armed assassins who wanted to kill her simply because of her ethnicity. Later, she managed to get to the U.S. and ultimately succeeded in getting the rest of her immediate family to the U.S. as well--the first of many accomplishments in her new country. Since most of their assets were destroyed or stolen during the war, Jeanne and her family began life in the U.S. with very virtually no financial resources. However, the assets that Jeanne did have proved to be far more important: an unwavering faith in God and in herself, courage, tenacity, optimism, help from friends she made along the way, and a willingness to work tirelessly to reach her goals. For example, she became a U.S. citizen, studied to become a licensed registered nurse (RN), and passed the nursing exam in English (a language which she learned, for the most part, after coming to the U.S.). In addition, Jeanne watched her children grow up here in safety and complete their education, she became the owner of a brand new home, and she wrote this book! Jeanne worked courageously on the front lines as a nurse during the Covid-19 pandemic, and currently works as a traveling nurse. Her life story proves that even in the face of great difficulties and emotional scars, one can still make a new and beautiful life--even when starting over from virtually nothing. It is Jeanne's hope (and mine) that her story will inspire others, including those who have endured extreme hardships, by showing that with hard work, perseverance, and faith in God and one's self, almost anything is possible.
