Book Description
She Roared Like a Lion is the compelling diary of Kammo, who disappeared during a high-stakes mission in Nigeria to rescue victims of human trafficking. Born to a courageous Gorkha soldier's daughter and a powerful but abusive politician in Nepal, Kammo's life was marked by intense struggles. Forced into a marriage with a closeted man, she endured years of exploitation and control. Her husband, desperate to mask his secret, subjected her to repeated abuse, while her mother-in-law treated her with cruelty. Despite her efforts to survive this toxic environment, Kammo found herself homeless with two young children, seeking refuge in the humblest of places. Kammo’s journey from a victim to a protector is inspiring. Her fierce determination to safeguard her children and other vulnerable women led her to seek police protection. Recognized for her resilience and resourcefulness, Kammo joined community policing and eventually became a Warden at a shelter for abuse survivors. Her unwavering commitment to this cause drove her to become an integral part of a rescue team combating human trafficking across Nepal and beyond. In her final entries, Kammo reflects on forgiveness and the complex emotions surrounding her family. Her sons grapple with their father’s secret life and the challenges of accepting each other. Kammo’s story is a powerful testament to courage, transformation, and the enduring fight against human trafficking.

Roaming Free Like a Deer
Author: Daniel Capper
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501759582
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
By exploring lived ecological experiences across seven Buddhist worlds from ancient India to the contemporary West, Roaming Free Like a Deer provides a comprehensive, critical, and innovative examination of the theories, practices, and real-world results of Buddhist environmental ethics. Daniel Capper clarifies crucial contours of Buddhist vegetarianism or meat eating, nature mysticism, and cultural speculations about spirituality in nonhuman animals. Buddhist environmental ethics often are touted as useful weapons in the fight against climate change. However, two formidable but often overlooked problems with this perspective exist. First, much of the literature on Buddhist environmental ethics uncritically embraces Buddhist ideals without examining the real-world impacts of those ideals, thereby sometimes ignoring difficulties in terms of practical applications. Moreover, for some understandable but still troublesome reasons, Buddhists from different schools follow their own environmental ideals without conversing with other Buddhists, thereby minimizing the abilities of Buddhists to act in concert on issues such as climate change that demand coordinated large-scale human responses. With its accessible style and personhood ethics orientation, Roaming Free Like a Deer should appeal to anyone who is concerned with how human beings interact with the nonhuman environment.

Book Description
On the first day of the millennium, a small town gathers to witness a miracle and unravel its portents for the century: the mysterious reappearance of a lost infant, Pajarita. Later, as a young woman in the capital city — Montevideo, brimming with growth and promise — Pajarita begins a lineage of fiercely independent women. Her daughter, Eva, survives a brutal childhood to pursue her dreams as a rebellious poet and along the hazardous precipices of erotic love. Eva’s daughter, Salomé, driven by an unrelenting idealism, commits clandestine acts that will end in tragedy as unrest sweeps Uruguay. But what saves them all is the fierce fortifying connection between mother and daughter that will bring them together to face the future. From Perón’s glittering Buenos Aires to the rustic hills of Rio de Janeiro, from the haven of a corner butchershop to U.S. embassy halls, the Firielli family traverses a changing South America and the uncharted terrain of their relationships with one another.
