"Strength in What Remains" by Tracy Kidder

The Iowa Center for the Book proudly announces that 2012 All Iowa Reads selection is "Strength in What Remains" by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tracy Kidder. The book tells the true story of Deogratias, a young physician from Burundi, who survives genocide only to find himself a homeless emegre in America. Deo never succumbs to the despair, isolation and prejudice he finds in New York City.

Dark, but not without hope and full of forgiveness, this is a must read for all Iowans.
