In the face of overwhelming loss, the grandmothers of Africa stepped in to hold families and communities together. Author Joanna Henry and photographer Alexis MacDonald visited eight African countries, interviewing and photographing hundreds of grandmothers (including Sarah Obama, Barack Obama's grandmother) who are reclaiming hope and resurrecting lives. The extraordinary images and stories of resourceful women fighting for a better future make \u003ci\u003ePowered by Love\u003c\/i\u003e an inspiration for everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWrites journalist-social activist Michele Landsberg, \"We thought we knew what was happening in Africa when the AIDS pandemic raged across the continent, sweeping away 35 million lives. But we never knew it the way this book reveals it, in the shockingly intimate voices of the grandmothers who had to save the abandoned children when no one else was left alive. These voices will leap straight into your heart. Their unguarded faces, in portraits that glow with character, pain and humour, will captivate you.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2006, the Stephen Lewis Foundation launched a campaign to engage Canadian grandmothers to support their African sisters.
