It may seem like a rush to judgment, but I will recommend a book for
all to read after completing less that half of it (220 of 528
pages). <br>
<br>
I'm currently reading "Even Silence Has an End" by Ingrid
Betancourt. You may remember that Betancourt was the Green Party
candidate for President of Columbia when she was captured and held
hostage by the FARC. This book tells of her 6 and a half years of
captivity in Columbia's jungles and her final rescue.<br>
<br>
More that a mere chronicle of events, or a political statement,
Betancourt has written a spiritual memoir detailing her times of
self examination and her effort to not merely survive, but to
survive with her soul intact. <br>
<br>
There are 13 copies in the <a
href="http://sccl.bibliocommons.com/item/show/1423594016_even_silence_has_an_end">Santa
Clara County Library</a> system and the reserve list is currently
at 25.<br>
