Here is the best-selling account of a most remarkable and determined American woman. Peace Pilgrim walked alone and penniless, with just the clothes on her back, as an engaging and compelling witness for peace from 1953 until 1981. “Walking until given shelter and fasting until given food,” she carried a simple yet powerfully enduring message of peace. She walked through every state, as well as in Canada and Mexico, speaking in classrooms and churches, encouraging others to find the inner peace she so clearly lived every moment of every day.
A few of her friends later gathered her writings and talks into this first-person account of Peace’s experiences and beliefs. Peace Pilgrim is now published in 18 languages, with over half a million copies in print. Included are photographs, news accounts of her journey, and a large section of questions and answers.
