The Torn Truth

The Torn Truth: The Remarkable Story of a People, a Mission, and a Spirit That Would Not Be Denied is a story of loss—the loss of dignity, humanity, and hope—along with the cultural annihilation of part of an entire country. It is also a story of the redemptive power of faith and love. 

For over sixty years, an oppressive and secretive government brutally ruled Burma (also known as Myanmar). After North Korea, it was the most isolated nation in the world. Now, journalist Rosemary Colgrove draws on interviews with Burmese citizens and refugees to cast a little light. 

Set against the background of Myanmar’s rich and complex history, The Torn Truth reveals a unique and compassionate culture torn apart by a tyrannical government. Part travelogue, part historical perspective, The Torn Truth tells the story of the triumph of the human spirit.
