520    "A memoir of a quest to eradicate landmines from the face 
       of the Earth -- and replace dangerous ground with 
       productive farmland: "Kuhn is an inspiration." -- Gillian 
       Sorensen, former United Nations Assistant Secretary-
       General After surviving a bout with cancer, Heidi Kühn 
       decided to devote herself to ridding the world of another 
       kind of life-threatening scourge: landmines in regions as 
       far-flung as Croatia, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. Inspired 
       by the work of the late Princess Diana, Heidi began the 
       humanitarian organization Roots of Peace from the basement
       of her Northern California home. She gained the support of
       famed Napa Valley vintners Robert Mondavi and Mike Grgich,
       and soon her "mines-to-vines" mission began to take hold. 
       In this powerful memoir, Heidi tells the Roots of Peace 
       story, from the early days in which she built her vision 
       to her current presence on the global stage, where she has
       worked with presidents, prime ministers, landmine 
       survivors, and religious leaders from around the world to 
       spread a message of peace and recovery. In the years since
       the founding of Roots of Peace, its agricultural projects 
       have made tremendous progress to fight against landmines, 
       revitalizing devastated land and uplifting the lives of 
       countless people in the process. This is a story of 
       healing, faith, and how an ordinary person can inspire 
       remarkable change -- and plant the seeds of a brighter 
       future."--|cProvided by Freading.
