Walk These Stones: Encounters Along a Costa Rican Village Road
Summary
For three years, Leslie Hawthorne Klingler and her husband walked the stony village roads of Cuatro Cruces, Costa Rica. As Mennonite Central Committee service workers, they discovered their neighbors' simple joys, shared their struggles, and wrestled with questions that arose from living, working, and worshipping across cultures. In the midst of daily life, celebration, and tragedy, they witnessed an inspiring and challenging depth of character, faith, and commitment to community. Leslie writes Walk These Stones with the hope that these powerful testimonies will leave an imprint on the reader's own journey. The pastel paintings of California Central Coast artist Dotty Hawthorne bring additional richness and texture to Walk These Stones . The vivid depictions of village life, infused with vibrant tropical color, offer moving impressions and keen insight into her daughter's stories and her own visits to Cuatro Cruces.
