"In a world framed by digital screens and talking heads, fifteen women quietly invited Barbe Chambliss into their lives to share intimate conversations about how they make peace. Sparked by a curiosity about how peace is actually created, this mediator and psychotherapist from Colorado zigzagged the globe to interview a willing pool of peacemakers where they live. In her book, Chambliss shares the remarkable stories of this wildly diverse cadre of women change agents, from an Israeli soldier to an Irish nun, a paralyzed Olympic skier to a young Zimbabwean orphan who now directs the esteemed Future of Hope Foundation. We see individual tactics meld into a pool of common strategies for crafting genuine peace."--back cover
