Over a Thousand Hills I Walk With You

by Hanna Jansen

I found this book at the public library. I chose it because it is about the Rwandan Genocide, something that we as a country know very little about. It would be useful in a high school classroom since it is historical, thought-provoking, and about genocide. This is the true story of eight-year-old Jeanne, who witnessed her entire family being massacred during the 1994 genocide. She is then adopted by a German woman who helps this remarkable girl heal and tell the story of her life to the world.
