A Remarkable Woman of This Age

I happened to read this book once before. This copy was in excellent shape, and came with a note to the previous owner of the book by the author herself. In reading it and after attending a workshop by the author, it is truly thrilling and inspiring to actually take in what she has done for orphans and other forgotten peoples in devastating circumstances. The fascinating part is that she goes to be with persons victimized in the midst of desperate situations like wars and famine; She helps families who have had members stolen into slavery in devastated villages. She provides aid where few will dare to go, often risking her own life. She goes to many places that today's newsmedia choose to ignore. Very enlightening.
