Description: "Anne Morrison Welsh tells the moving story of her husband's self-sacrifice [self-immolation] at the Pentagon in November 1965 in a desperate effort to help end a war he abhorred. Quaker Norman Morrison felt led to make this extreme statement in the manner of Vietnamese Buddhist monks. In telling her husband's story, the author also shares her own spiritual journey of forgiveness, acceptance and gradual recovery from life's wounds. A 1999 visit to Viet Nam was healing for Anne Morrison Welsh as she and her daughters met with many Vietnamese who shared with her the extraordinary impact that Norman Morrison's act had on their hearts and minds"--Back cover.
