murdered her family and hunted her, you must read her powerful book Left to Tell. Here’s a brief passage that shows that despite the heartbreaking sorrow she en- dures as a survivor, she’s also able to trust and have faith in God and in life.


I knew that my family was at peace, but that didn’t ease the pain of missing them. And I couldn’t shake the crippling sor- row that seized my heart when- ever I envisioned how they’d been killed. Every night I prayed to be released from my private agony, from the nightmare that haunted my sleep and troubled my days.


She goes on to explain how God had answered her prayers in a beauti- ful dream:


From that night onward, my tears began to dry and my pain eased. I never agonized over the fate of my family. I accepted that I would always mourn and miss them, but I’d never spend another moment worrying about the misery they’d endured. By sending me ‘that’ dream, God had shown me that my family was in a place beyond suf- fering.


Trust, just like a muscle, can be built—even after it’s been almost totally destroyed. No one can explain why bad things happen to good people or why others are so dark . . . so evil. I’m sure Immacu- lee would say that evil people are the victims of victims, destined to live in torment and regret. I believe that it’s in the times of our greatest challenges and sorrows that we come to know the real meaning of life—the fragility of mortality, the sacredness of love, the beauty of passion, the power of desire, and the tenderness of God.


The hand of fate will touch us all. Faith, like trust, isn’t an insurance policy against pain and suffering. It’s a knowingness that although we can’t always understand the whys, we surrender our question- ing, believing that love will see us through. We know the strength of the human spirit.


Remember that it’s not what happens to you, but what you do with what happens to you that shapes your future!
