Alice Walker- goddess of American literature!- writes about A Thousand Sisters…
I can’t imagine a more perfect book for arousing the power of American women (or women and men everywhere) to rush to the defense of our Congolese sisters. Lisa Shannon, runner extraordinaire, has with this forthright and readable book, crossed the finish line into the way of life the remainder of our time on this planet demands: she has entered the land of courage, compassion, and a fierce determination to stand by those who need us, where everyone understands they must be – our lives depend on it – a citizen of the world.
-Alice Walker
Okay, this one made me cry. I studied her work in college, we met in Congo, and in a few simple exchanges, she taught me some of the most profound lessons I learned on my journey. What can I say? The woman is amazing. Can’t thank her enough!!!! -Lisa
