A Thousand Sisters: My Journey Into the Worst Place on Earth to Be a Woman by Lisa J. Shannon

5.0

A call to collective action for women, children, and families in the Congo. Their battle has been long (16yrs) and gruesome, but hope can be and is found in the actions of individuals who desire to make a difference for the victims of this civil war. An inside look of how one woman started a movement to raise awareness and sponsorships in the U.S. Then internationally for women in Congo. To help women there is to help children and families as well. A book everyone should read to learn more about the conflict and how it impacts the daily lives of the Congolese. A story that speaks humanity into consciousness.
I listened to the audible version read by the author which added more authenticity to the story. It's a good read and enlightening.
