About this ebook

Based on a true story, My Father's Son is a tale of courage and forgiveness in the face of  betrayal and crimes against humanity. In the land of a thousand hills, Rwanda, Dr Mwiza  lived under the illusion that his bliss was eternal. In the background, the tension leading up to the Rwandan genocide swell and spread like an ugly outbreak. The darkness sent  his family through rivers rife with floating bodies and the uncertain bowels of strange  lands. All's well that ends well, or so they thought while trying to resettle to Canada.  Mwiza received a medical report that sent his family into an abyss but also sparked a  journey of healing. It brought a family fractured by traumas of war closer  together against a common enemy.

About the author

Up until the age of eleven, Mudah’s life was interrupted by major acts of violence. First  the Rwandan genocide and the 1997 Tanzanian forceful repatriation of all Rwandan  refugees, an exodus that led to hundreds of refugee deaths. He did not have a formal  education until 2001, when his surviving family settled in Malawi. He squeezed 12 years  of education into 8 years and graduated in 2009 among the top ten best students in the  nation. He received best science student award and a scholarship to the University of  Toronto (UofT). He studied Economics and International Relations at UofT and  completed a 4 year program in 3 years with distinction. He went on to do a 2 year  economics program at McGill University in just a year. Naturally, upon completion of his  education, he became a mailman and served in the Canadian Armed Forces Reserve.
