Karabo has survived the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi that claimed the lives of her father and sisters. Now she is left alone among the wounded hearts of Rwanda, and she doesn’t know where her mother is.
When Karabo goes to live with her paternal uncle, a colonel in the new army, she meets Shema, another genocide survivor and one of her uncle’s young escorts. Shema’s charm is appealing, and Karabo wants to surrender her heart to him, but it’s complicated — Shema knows only a part of her story.
Hearts Among Ourselves is a story of love, hatred, and where they intersect. Karabo and Shema, both grieving orphans, grow up in a torn society — caught between the world of the living and the dead, and the conflict between the Hutus and the Tutsis.
Some say love is like water — it flows with everything on its way. Will Karabo and Shema be swept up in its current or tossed to the shore?
