The social activist who founded Thistle Farms, one of CNN's "Heroes," writes about the healing power of love in this compelling collection of essays.

"Love is the most powerful source for social change in the world."

As the founder of Thistle Farms—a community of women survivors of addiction, prostitution, and trafficking—Becca Stevens has seen firsthand the miraculous therapeutic effects of love. In this collection of letters, she calls on her experiences helping these women in need to give readers the tools to avoid disillusionment and the distraction of ego on their journey through an often-challenging world.

While written to inspire seminarians, priests, and pastors across denominational lines, Letters from the Farm will also profoundly resonate with social workers, activists, caregivers, and anyone who wants to cultivate the seeds of courage, humility, and compassion on their path to a grounded, more meaningful life.
