Liliane Leila Juma was sixteen years old when her family home in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo was destroyed by rebel soldiers. She
gives an account of her life before and after her family was torn apart.
Maison Rouge is a story of war and unspeakable loss. It is also the
story of survival. Eventually, through the United Nations refugee
program, Leila and her family were finally able to relocate to Canada.
