Nathalia Zongo speaks for all natives of Burkina-Faso in When Everything Has Fallen, a newly released memoir and tribute to courage and hope.
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) April 15, 2007 -- The newly released book, When Everything Has Fallen, is the firsthand account of Nathalia Zongo, a Burkina-Faso native whose father, Etienne Zongo, was exiled following the assassination of the then president, Tomas Sankara. Now an undergraduate student in the U.S., Zongo writes about a life still in transition and the strong faith she has developed to overcome the challenge of the past.
Zongo shows remarkable insight in examining her own feelings and those of her family. Throughout When Everything Has Fallen, she admires her mother's emotional and physical struggle to support her children and herself with little or no knowledge of her husband's whereabouts. As for her father, Zongo identifies with his guilt about abandoning his family but possesses the maturity to understand the motivations behind his decision to remain separated from them. All families who have been separated will identify with her pain and find strength in her determination to overcome feelings of abandonment.
"Sixteen years of prayers, now. Sixteen years of hope, 16 years of faith and still nothing," the author laments at one point in the book, struggling to come to terms with her family's separation. Yet, Nathalia Zongo ultimately realizes that she has been blessed. After struggling with division among her remaining family members and even thoughts of suicide, she is finally able to tell her story--one that needs to be heard.
