The Mourning of Angels by
Patricia Edmisten
Description:
Young, Jesuit-educated Lydia Schaefer is one of the
first from Milwaukee to become a Peace Corps
volunteer. The poverty, political violence, and
machismo she encounters in Peru force her to question
her belief system. It is Rafael Serrano, a mixed-race
medical doctor, and his mother Teresa, a wise woman
and midwife, who teaches Lydia about the indomitable
spirit of the Andean people. In the mountains of Peru,
Lydia endures blows that test her courage and will to
live. Although she gains wisdom, she sacrifices much
before returning home.
"In straight forward, beautifully descriptive
prose, subtly impregnated with the political and
cultural history of Peru, Edmisten charts Lydia
Schaefer's journey from innocence...to a stark, tragic
maturity....She also shows the wonderful gutsiness and
tenacity of those early Peace Corps volunteers who
plunged gamely into uncharted waters."

Wild Women with Tender Hearts by
Patricia Edmisten
Description: "Reading
Patricia's book is like searching for a fine wine, and
then realizing what is really needed is the snappy and
unexpectedly wise T-shirt on the rack at the gas
station off of Exit 37. The astute reader realizes,
"This book of living fits. I deserve this."
So if you know someone who respects life, who
chases dragon flies, who inhales the Sunday paper, who
would pole vault a fire pit, and perhaps counsels
cheetahs: grant them several days with Wild Women with
Tender Hearts. Chances are they will understand you
are a kindred spirit and worthy of befriending. Monique
