Peacetalk 101

Peacetalk 101 is the story of an ordinary man with a hard row to hoe, who decides that only desperate measures are open to him; he plans a murder-suicide, and sets his plan in motion. But then things that are not at all ordinary start happening to him, as a stranger -- a stranger who seems to be nothing more than a homeless man lazily riding the bus all day -- shows him, one small mysterious step at a time, that he has another choice.
Suzette Haden Elgin, author of the best-selling Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense series, as well as The Grandmother Principles and the Native Tongue trilogy, once more shares with readers her talent for combining conscience with language and ideals with story.
