They practiced the same cultural traditions. They were of the same race. The only difference was power. And that’s what drove the genocide. When the Europeans helped colonize Rwanda‚ they gave the more powerful positions‚ like jobs in the government‚ to the Tutsis. One of the few high ranking spots that

The story is told from three different POVs: From Libby Day in the present and from Ben and Patty Day in 1985. There’s a fourth narrative near the end that provides a surprising twist.
