Nancy Henderson’s latest book, Sewing Hope (Dust Jacket Press, 2013), tells the story of Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe, a Ugandan nun who educates and nurtures young women formerly abducted by terrorist Joseph Kony and his Lord’s Resistance Army. Proceeds go to Pros for Africa, a non-profit organization that supports Sister Rosemary and other humanitarian efforts in Africa.
