"The shortest distance between the truth and a human heart is a story." -Anthony DeMello Stories of the human spirit are what connect hearts. Trampled Grass is full of courageous African heroes and their tales. Set against the backdrop of the recent South Sudanese civil war, this collection of forty short stories celebrates the unsung men and women who rose above pettiness and tribalism to reach out to refugees who've lost everything. These are their stories of courage, open hearts, and the grace of human dignity. Written during a three year African sojourn, Trampled Grass is a fulfillment of Curt Iles' promise to the refugees to remember and share their stories. "When two elephants fight, the grass gets trampled." -African proverb Author Bio Curt Iles and his wife DeDe recently served in Africa with the International Mission Board. They now live in Alexandria, Louisiana. Trampled Grass is Iles' twelfth book. Learn more at www.creekbank.net.
