“Looking for one of those rare books in which love, truth and beauty come together on the printed page? This is such a book. Meg Little is a child and adolescent psychiatrist and a gifted fabric artist. Her daughter Lissie is a wise-beyond-her-years thirty-five year-old whose progressive disease has confined her to bed for ten years. From grade school onward, Lissie has been devoted to peacemaking through education, and Meg—who shares that passion—has facilitated Lissie’s voice through those years. In this moving volume, color photos of Meg’s art amplify Lissie’s visions for peace on earth, and accompany Meg’s time-tested understanding of how we can find our way through hard times. This is more than a book. It’s testimony to a way of life that gives us a chance to find light even in deep darkness. May taking in the story of Lisse and Meg change your life as it has changed mine.
