A road is all we have. This road is an intricate network of twists and turns upon which we make our journey through life. My road is crimson. It is with love and warmth, then blood and agony. It is a rose, yet then an agonizing fire. In plain words, this book is one of an inspirational journey of a boy overcoming his suicidal tendencies. Furthermore, this book is a giant poetic narrative composed of individual poems. The book is designed specifically so that the poems have value in themselves, but when read in order, tell another interesting story. That story is the inner machinations and intricacies of my mind as I journey toward hope. In doing this, the book has poetic and psychological value. Regardless of all the complex structure and meaning, though, just give me a chance. I will show you a story of a boy who almost didn't make it, but overcame his suicidal endeavor and lives to write about it. I will inspire you to see the silver lining in life and to always follow your heart. I will emphasize things you may take for granted in your life so that you might appreciate every little bit of it. Read this book thoughtfully, and I assure you that it will be an experience that you will never forget.

Whether understood as sin, as embracing all manner of suffering and injustice, or as the inexplicable human choice of evil over good, evil has historically been described and pondered chiefly through male categories understood as a universal viewpoint. Likewise salvation. Gebara here presents an alternative, feminist approach to evil and salvation. She allows women to voice their personal suffering from their own contexts, thereby manifesting their many differences. She then introduces a perspective on evil and salvation based in gender analysis to address specifically "the evil women do," the evil they suffer, and women's redemptive experiences of God and salvation.
