Summary
The Terrible Truth About the Truth is an all-in-one dramatic, romantic, horrific, true story, not without some humor. As a Tutsi who experienced a number of close calls during the Tutsis genocide conducted by extremists Hutus, Emma identifies herself as a Tutsi and a genocide survivor, but many of her compatriots question that reality.
Throughout this book, Emma shares her story about a challenged relationship with her Hutu partner, their search for inclusion in their own community, and their rejection by their own people. This book describes Emma and Mike's bumpy and nearly deadly journeys, as well as the terrible conditions they found themselves in, before and after the night of April 6, 1994, when President Habyarimana's plane was shot down, until President Kagame's victory day on July 4, 1994.
Although three months don't sound like a long time, they are long enough for Emma to lose almost everyone and everything. Mike and Emma will have to start life from scratch, surprisingly with optimism and hope. Unfortunately, it doesn't take long before Emma and Mike start to realize that the end of the genocide doesn't mean the end of their troubles, the epiphany that would drive them into their exile.
Now the question is: Will Emma and Mike's dream of becoming Canadian citizens come true? Or are they once again about to face the terrible truth about the truth, as per Lucky Dube's song lyrics: "If you stand for the truth, you will always stand alone!"
