Forgiving the Living and Epilogue Summary and Analysis

Immaculee's story could be one of horror, despair or hate, but it is not. Instead it is a story of love and faith. Immaculee's faith in God protected her and saw her through an awful period in history. Immaculee visited the Kibuye prison and confronted the leader of the gang accused of murdering her family. She granted him her forgiveness. She moved forward from the atrocities and married a peaceful, catholic man with whom she bore two beautiful children. She was reunited with her only surviving brother, Aimable, who also married after the genocide. Immaculee and her husband continue to work with the United Nations creating peace abroad. The final chapter of Left to tell provides closure.
