Prophets who speak to us from the charnel houses of the world s wars are not easy to hear. They can tell us much about how deeply rooted in us all is the power to resist evil and to affirm life. Red Thread is a profound gift from a woman who has been a faithful witness. Dr. Ron Morgan, Romero Interfaith Center, Philadelphia

This is a powerful, moving and profound account of the crucifixion of Nicaragua, told through the lives and deaths of the poor one of the most engrossing and shattering books I have read in a long time. That the author lived to tell the tale is itself astonishing. That her spirit survived the impact of so many deaths is a witness to resurrection. The sheer beauty of the writing is healing balm. Walter Wink, Author of The Powers that Be

Jennifer eloquently describes what our son Ben must have seen and felt before he became one of the victims of that US-sponsored war in Nicaragua. It is an indictment of all wars, including the one the United States is waging now in Colombia. It makes me shudder. Elisabeth Linder
