In ⁣this⁤ powerful memoir,the author recounts her journey from a ​profound disconnection with her own body—rooted in a traumatic childhood—to a ‌transformative awakening⁢ in the Congo,where she witnessed horrific violence against women. ​diagnosed with uterine cancer, she was ​forced to confront her body through grueling treatments, ultimately realizing that her ⁤own suffering was ⁣intrinsically linked to the Larger suffering of the world. Through ​unflinching vulnerability and⁤ fierce activism, she learned to embody a deep, inseparable connection to all living things.

The narrative is both deeply⁣ personal and ​universally ⁤resonant, ‍blending​ intimate ⁢reflections on ‍her father's abuse and her mother's emotional distance with global⁣ perspectives on ​violence ​and resilience. the author's journey⁤ from isolation to ⁣radical inclusion is a testament to the transformative power of‍ empathy and the urgent need to recognise our shared humanity and ecological responsibility.
