Stunning. An extraordinary account of engagement with intractable and murderous hostilities, of the energy generated by hope. A thrilling narrative of those who learn to overcome the injuries done to them and those embittered beyond grief. --Jeremy Seabrook, Guardian & BBC Journalist

This account of the initiative by the Soul of Europe to bring some light into a dark corner of the Balkan war deserves to be widely read and absorbed.I hope that this honest account by Donald Reeves and Peter Pelz of the hard and painstaking work of mediation will encourage and inspire many. --The Archbishop of Canterbury

This book is a wonderful story of the courage of compassion and tenacity of dialogue in the face of fear and polarization. I highly recommend it to scholars and practitioners alike. --John Paul Lederach, Professor of International Peacebuilding at the University of Notre Dame, South Bend, Indiana
