Empty Hands: The Life of Sister Abegail Ntleko (Used)

Empty Hands is the inspiring story of a young Zulu woman, Abegail Ntleko, who overcame tremendous challenges in order to attain her dream- to live a life of service. Born into abject poverty in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, she was barred from education and stunted by gender bias and racial prejudice.

Determined and steadfast, she prevailed against the odds, first fulfilling her aspiration to become a nurse, and then going on to become one of South Africa's preeminent community leaders.

In her fight against the AIDS pandemic, Abe came face to face with its most tragic consequence: an ever-rising number of orphans. In response, she began adopting dozens of children, providing these most vulnerable victims with a nurturing home.

With great warmth and lucidity, Sister Abe tells a story that offers hope and gives testimony to the power of love and compassion.
