Great news! AND STILL PEACE DID NOT COME has been selected for Starbucks Digital Network’s in-store reading club. Starbucks Digital Network provides exclusive access to film, tv, newspaper, and book content.  This content will only be accessible to consumers while they are in the wifi space of the store.

Starbucks selects two books every two weeks that they will make 100% available for reading online in the store—so this is an amazing opportunity to create a buzz about the book through word of mouth.  The consumer can read as much as they want while they’re in Starbucks wifi but they lose access when they leave the store.  If the consumer enjoyed what they were reading, they can return to the store to read more or they can purchase the ebook through the iBookstore.

The title will go live on 3/22/11 and be taken down on 4/5/11.

About Us

Founded in 2004, Straight From The Heart was a radio program aired by the United Nation Mission on Liberia radio. It allowed Liberians to phone in live and share their stories from the Second Liberian Civil War (1999 - 2002).

The organization today looks at how Liberians can become reconciled to what happened to them. It tries to heal both victims and perpetrators who carry the guilt of atrocities they committed during the war, with the hope that Liberians can reunite.

Getting over the past is never easy. It does not mean forgetting. Rather, it means acknowledging what came before in order to live together once again. What does reconciliation really mean? What are the fundamental issues? Is reunification a desirable goal for us in Liberia? After years of civil war, how can Liberia society achieves peace?
