The Nightmare of a Positivision*: Yes We Are Dying, but We Are Still Breathing. Louise Uwacu

This is the true story of Louise Uwacu, a Canadian author and talk-show host born in Rwanda. She became a refugee at age 17 after the infamous genocide in 1994, and yet she still dreamed of traveling the world. When she could not get a visa to escape the harsh realities of being a refugee in Africa, she obtained a fake passport and found her own way to North America through Europe. Once she set foot in her ?promised land,? she wanted to live it all out and enjoy what she calls her afterlife on planet Earth! But soon enough, reality kicked in and, as she recounts in this book, she came to find that surviving peace was so much harder than escaping war, because during peace you have time to think, and even worse, you are free to choose who to be! This book will uplift those going through challenging times. Louise Uwacu reminds the reader that chaos doesn?t just happen to Africans, it happens to all those who do not truly appreciate how blessed they are. She writes that if she can land in North America with $30 in her pockets and make it through, you have no reasons for giving up, even if your government now owes billions to foreign banks you know nothing about. This book, published fifteen years after she left her home, is the real story of a fearless being who refuses to die just because the powerful have stopped caring. It is the actual tale of one woman determined to conquer all the nightmares of her previous life. She does so with a passion and conviction that will inspire a POSITIVISION* in all our lives
