“For those who enjoy reading about real experiences from interesting people who seem to have lived a thousand lives in a single lifetime…” — Reader Views (starred review) “A well-crafted, continent-spanning remembrance of one man’s search for the American dream. […] this account of Ndacayisaba’s remarkable achievements also meaningfully reflects the larger immigrant experience.” — Kirkus Reviews “A timely and powerfully told memoir, Transient Anchors is a compelling tale of survival, support, and unwavering resilience.” — SPR “Ndacayisaba’s prose is smooth and insightful [...]” — The BookLife Prize Transient Anchors is a gripping refugee memoir that chronicles Libère J. Ndacayisaba’s journey across continents, cultures, and crises. When Ndacayisaba survived the 1993 Burundian genocide at age six, he carried nothing but fear, faith, and the hope of survival. Growing up in refugee camps, facing loss and displacement, he had no reason to believe his life would lead anywhere beyond struggle. Yet each hardship became fuel for an extraordinary transformation. Through resilience, education, and relentless curiosity, Ndacayisaba rises from barefoot village boy to biomedical researcher in world-class laboratories across America, turning trauma into purpose and shaping the future of biomedical science—for family, for country, and for humanity. If you believe in the strength of the human spirit and the possibility of rising beyond unimaginable beginnings, this book will move and inspire you.
