Twilight
In The Morning By
Theresa Lungu
This
is the story of one young woman’s struggle to
regain her life after her entire family is slain
during the 1994 genocide of Rwanda. It tells of her
pain and triumphs in her relationship with an
American doctor whom she meets at the refugee camp
where she works as a nurse, and of her quest to seek
asylum in the United States.
Book
Description
Denver
Milestone is a pediatrician at a state hospital in
Harlem, New York when he goes to work at a refugee
camp in post-genocide Rwanda (Central Africa). His
stay in Africa is life changing as he comes
face-to-face with AIDS and poverty. Just when he
begins to feel comfortable, he is critically wounded
in a landmine ambush and is flown back to the United
States.
Saara
Rushimana is a Rwandan nurse at the refugee camp.
Her entire family was murdered in the genocide, but
she lives her challenged life with grace. When she
seeks political asylum in the United States, little
does she know that she will be thrown into a
detention center and be made to endure prison like
conditions.
This
is the story of two people whose very different
lives meet and intertwine in a tale of overwhelming
tragedy, endurance and love.
Will
Denver survive the attack? Can Saara find her
husband’s family and tell them about the child she
is carrying?
Read
on.

Luanshya
is a small town in Zambia (Central Africa) and had a
population of 146,275 in the 1990 census.
Present day has a population of almost 500,000. Zambia
has great economic and social problems. Top of the
list being AIDS and poverty, and the population has
its hands full trying to combat the two leaving other
issues in the lurch. The only library in
Luanshya is dilapidated and has been plundered. These
days school kids who wish to study there have to bring
their own chairs to sit on and their own books,
neither of which they can afford.
Today,
I am appealing to each and everyone of you to help the
people of Luanshya by donating used books to the
Library. All kinds of books will do, reference books,
novels, children's books, magazines, dictionaries,
text books. As long as its a book. And yes even one
book will make a difference! Please send that book and
make a change in the lives of people whose mere
survival is a great challenge
