Empty Hands, a Memoir: Sacred Activism
Autor Sister Abegail Ntlekoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2015
Overcoming poverty and racism within the apartheid South African system, she adopted her first child at a time when it was unheard of to do so. And then she did it again and again. In forty years she has taken in and cared for hundreds of children who had nothing, saving babies many of them orphans whose parents died of AIDS from hospitals that were ready to give up on them and let them die.
"Empty Hands "describes the harshness of Ntleko's circumstances with wit and wisdom in direct, beautifully understated prose and will appeal not only to activists and aid workers, but to anyone who believes in the power of the human spirit to rise above suffering and find peace, joy, and purpose.
"Ntleko's story, which she tells in simple language, is inspiring and moving. She neither dwells in nor dramatizes the hardships she has faced, preferring instead to focus on 'fill ing] her hands with love and then spend ing] all that love until her] hands are empty again.' A brief, genuine, heartfelt memoir of an awe-inspiring life." "Kirkus Reviews""
