She invites readers to accompany her on this journey of confronting biased gender norms, becoming visible, and finding a voice.Sandy Camillo is a nonprofit governance consultant who has spent much of her life promoting equity for women through her service on boards of women's advocacy associations and in her blogs about women's issues.

In the Heart of Life
By Eldon, Kathy
A Mother Loses Almost Everything Before She Discovers True JoyIn 1977, Kathy Eldon moved with her husband and two children from England to Kenya, where she found freedom as she had never known it before and was ready to push back from her old, restrictive life. Diving into this tumultuous new world as a journalist and writer, she embraced the energy and creativity of Kenyans, both black and white. But her world collapsed when her twenty-two-year-old son, Dan—an artist and photojournalist on assignment for Reuters—was stoned to death by an angry mob in Somalia, killed by the very people he was trying to help. Kathy's journey through this tragic loss was deeply spiritual as she discovered that, in many ways, Dan was still ever-present in her life.
