What do you do when you're twelve years old and your neighbors turn into your worst enemies? It was happening in 1994 throughout the tiny country of Rwanda, where Hutu extremists shot, chopped, clubbed and speared 1.1 million Tutsis, their fellow Rwandans, in just three months. It was the most efficient large-scale slaughter in history. This story carries you off to East-Central Africa and into a delightful childhood interrupted by circumstances that force young Kaka to leave home with a cousin his age, a nine-year-old sister and a six-year-old brother. After a while it's just Kaka and his cousin. Everywhere are signs that the country had gone crazy. But Kaka keeps his wits. There are ditches filled with corpses, bodies trying to crawl out; acts of courageous generosity and costly risk; close calls; unhindered killing; funny moments; sickening loss; constant hunger; humans at their worst and humans at their best.Does a person have to forgive in order to move beyond the trauma of brutality? Does forgiveness have to be the issue? What were people thinking while taking the lives of their neighbors? Why did some killers spare one neighbor and slaughter the others? Who's responsible for a genocide? Is it possible not to be controlled by memories of wicked deeds committed by people who aren't sorry for what they did? Angels on My Path faces these questions in firsthand experience. If you love life, or would like to, this book was written for you.

A call to action from Jane Fonda, one of the most inspiring activists of our time, urging us to wake up to the looming disaster of climate change and equipping us with the tools we need to join her in protest In 2019, daunted by the looming disaster of climate change and inspired by Greta Thunberg, Naomi Klein, and student climate strikers, Jane Fonda asked herself one question: What can I do? Jane Fonda, one of the most influential activists of our time, moved to Washington, D.C., and has since led thousands of people in demonstrations on Capitol Hill. In launching Fire Drill Fridays, Fonda teamed up with Greenpeace, leading climate scientists, and community organizers not only to understand what’s at stake, but to equip all of us with the education and tools we need to join her in protest. What Can I Do? isn’t a wish list—it’s a to-do list. So many of us recognize the urgency in stemming the tide of climate change but aren’t sure where to start. Our window of opportunity to act is quickly closing. And it isn’t only Earth’s life-support systems that are unraveling, so too is our social fabric. This is going to take an all-out war on drilling, fracking, deregulation, racism, misogyny, colonialism, and despair—all at the same time. The problems we face now require every one of us to join the fight for not only our immediate future, but for the future of generations to come. 100% of the author's net proceeds from What Can I Do? have gone to Greenpeace
