"Waiting for the Sunrise: One Family's Struggle against Genocide and Racism" is the personal account of an interracial family's struggle against pervasive racism in the U.S. and the horrors of the civil war that plagued Rwanda in 1994. Raised in the American Midwest, author Elizabeth Gatorano, who is White, had no idea of the trials she would face after marrying Phanuel, who is Black and an immigrant to the U.S. from Rwanda. Prejudice against their marriage followed them and their children wherever they went, often making them the focus of racist discrimination and threats of violence at home and at work. After accepting the BahĂĄ'Ă Faith, they became even more committed to helping the less fortunate and personifying the virtues of love and unity found in the writings of Baha'u'llah. Together, they overcame all obstacles in their path, and they continue to help those in need today. Available in paperback and eBook.
