The latest winner of the Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged Fiction focuses on a young Rwandan runner training for the Olympics. He’s a Tutsi and as ethnic tensions escalate, he is forced to flee for his life. But his greatest challenge is to regain the homeland, family, and woman he’s  lost. In her first novel, Benaron, who has worked with refugees, gives a powerful, ultimately hopeful, perspective on devastating events.
