Description: "L'Arche communities welcome all persons, no matter what their weaknesses or handicaps. In this book, L'Arche's founder, Jean Vanie, tells the story of the community's first thirty years: its foundations and growth, its joys and sorrows. Rather than list dates and places, Vanier chronicles the transformation that occurs when the poorest and weakest among us find a haven of love and safety to carry them through the storms of life: an ark for the poor."--Jacket.
