| Summary |
One woman's fight to deliver peace and eliminate bloodshed in the midst of one of the most notorious conflicts of our time In the tradition of Dear Zari and Barefoot in Baghdad, Zen Under Fire lays bare the struggles of a war-torn region from a uniquely female perspective. Marianne Elliott must defuse situations before they lead to widespread bloodshed, despite the shattering effect that the high-stress environment has on her and her relationships-redefining the question of what it really means to do good in a country that is under siege from within.
