This is a really inspirational book about a former reporter, mother of four and cancer survivor who decided to dedicate her life to converting landmine fields (which are still shockingly prevalent and continue to maim and kill innocent people at horrifying rates) into agricultural fields like vineyards around the world. Kuhn did this work in part as a Christian who wanted to do something good for the world after surviving her cancer and also because she was so inspired by the work of Princess Diana. The early days were spent working from her basement while taking care of her young children but she grew her organization to make real change around the world. Her organization, Roots of Peace, has now raised funds and awareness to remove over 200,000 landmines and explosive devices in 8 countries, and continues to grow and do good in the world.

It's impossible not to be moved and called to action after reading Heidi's story.

I read a digital ARC of this book for review.
