A short memoir about the history of PTP:
A Tale of Two Star Sisters and Pathways To Peace

In the late 1970s, two women met through the San Francisco marketing community and gradually became dear friends and “star” sisters.  Avon Mattison and Joanie Ciardelli co-founded a global Peacebuilding organization based on Avon’s lifelong vision, Pathways To Peace.  Their rich and vast story includes myriad Peacebuilders and organizations, with vignettes and photos from those decades of work – and play.  This is a compact book that includes a compelling history of work with the United Nations, the Soviet Peace Committee, the World Peace Prayer Society and so much more! At the core is a deep and lasting friendship between Avon and Joanie until Avon’s recent passing. Avon has been internationally recognized for the peacebuilding pioneer that she was, and Pathways To Peace is celebrated for its ongoing contribution to this and future generations of Peacebuilders.
