false 6282334 4 <b>The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of the modern classics <i>Mountains Beyond Mountains</i> and <i>The Soul of a New Machine</i> returns with the extraordinary true story of a young man and his will to survive</b><br><br>In this remarkable book, <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author Tracy Kidder once again delivers the masterful story of a hero for these modern times. <br><br>Deo grew up in the mountains of Burundi, and survived a civil war and genocide before seeking a new life in America. In New York City he lived homeless in Central Park before finding his way to Columbia University. But Deo’s story really begins with his will to turn his life into something truly remarkable; he returns to his native country to help people there, as well as people in the United States. <br><br>An extraordinary writer, Kidder has the remarkable ability to show us what it means to be fully human, and to tell the unadorned story of a life based on hope. Riveting and inspiring, this may be his most magnificent work to date. <i>Strength in What Remains</i> is a testament to the power of will and friendship, and of the endurance of the soul. 6466309 book 25 8 2009 Strength in What Remains total:307|5:89|4:143|3:61|2:13|1:1| 307 1227 1439 134 4 0 false false Sun Oct 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 12:48:54 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 12:45:58 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Oct 15 16:29:25 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 17:49:05 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Oct 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 05:25:11 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 05:40:27 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 14:41:04 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 14:41:04 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 1 false false Wed Sep 09 09:30:23 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 09:32:17 -0700 2009
