About this listen

A liver transplant. A life redefined. A journey of healing, faith, and fierce resilience.

Built to Heal is the compelling memoir of Margo Rukashaza, a Rwandan-American engineer and leader whose life was transformed by an unexpected health crisis. With grace and humor, she recounts her journey through a life-saving liver transplant, her deep roots and cross-cultural upbringing, and the emotional strength required to start anew. Rukashaza reflects on love, loss, family, purpose, and the quiet victories that help rebuild a life from within.

This thought-provoking memoir offers valuable insights on:

  • Cultivating resilience in adversity
  • Leading with confidence and compassion
  • Rebuilding identity—body, mind, and soul
  • Embracing joy and sharing hard-earned lessons

Includes poems, stories, and reflections to inspire anyone navigating life’s hardest moments.

Critic Reviews

“Rukashaza's compact memoir provides a wealth of wisdom, presented in a straightforward, easy-to-read format. Throughout the book, she provides poignant snapshots of moments from her own life, taking us with her through life-changing surgery, childhood challenges, and insights that she has learned throughout her subsequent journey into corporate leadership. She adds humor and pathos to her story, bringing lyricism as well through her inclusion of original poetry. She also helps the reader along by providing clear, enumerated lessons of her key takeaways. I recommend this book for anyone who has traversed the ups and downs of life and is looking to embrace their wounded younger self on the path to healing.” —Brian Crawford
