Founded in 1997, the project has provided refuge to more than 1250 women, half of whom might otherwise have been murdered, committed suicide, or starved to death. Maher is an interfaith community that honors all religions and strongly repudiates caste distinctions--making it a rare beacon shining new hope upon some of the gravest problems in India and around the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is rich with stories--poignant firsthand accounts by women and children whose lives have been transformed by the Maher project. Later chapters explore the larger implications of this pioneering work, with guidance for implementing similar projects elsewhere. Written in a concise narrative style, Women Healing Women in India is an easy and compelling read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Keepin, Cynthia Brix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1890772887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781890772888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hohm Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 157","brand":"William Keepin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939080339711,"sku":"9781890772888","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_982db88b-5504-4178-a2f2-aa4093db6cf4.jpg?v=1681439378","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-healing-women-william-keepin-9781890772888","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
