About this audiobook
Williams speaks out for some of the most disavowed individuals on the planet: prairie dogs, who are threatened with extinction, and Rwandan refugees. She deftly draws meaning out of moments of devastation with inspiring stories of rodents who pray at sunrise and sunset and a mother who, after losing her child to the ravages of war, creates a mosaic sunflower out of the rubble.
