Some curses do not die with those who summon them. In 1896, in the hills of the Kingdom of Rwanda, Gahizi makes a desperate choice. With famine closing in and his young family on the edge of ruin, he binds himself to Gatera, a powerful cattle chief whose protection may be the difference between survival and extinction. But Gatera’s house is one of grief, ambition, secrets, and powerful ancestors. Across a hundred years, both men’s descendants will carry the consequences of that choice. We Are Safest Among Our People is a sweeping historical novel about the inheritance families carry, the borders others draw, and how far a family can go to survive in a world where belonging has no answer.
