A Mantle of Roses: A Woman´s Journey Home to Peace is the memoir of a twenty-year period of an ordinary woman, Virginia Swain, who has had extraordinary experiences.

She learned to access this inner voice to heal her past and claim her vocation for peace. Now she teaches what she has learned through the Institute for Global Leadership and the Center for Global Community and World Law. She mentors leaders committed to a sustainable peace and works to abolish war. Virginia poses questions for the reader at the end of each chapter. Journal pages are at the end of the book.
