A book series born of Beauty, Grief, Hunger, and Hope
Grief that our economy renders anguishing poverty and the climate change that threatens many lives and our children’s future. Hunger for a verdant, compassionate, and equitable future in which this beautiful creation can once again breath and sing a song of life. Hope that we have the power to forge that future.
