Restoration Glass: A Vision for Healthy Conflict: How Place, Stories, and Critical Thinking Create a Culture of Reconciliation

Are you tired of the division and hostility in the world today? Do you long for connection, meaning, and a way forward? In a time when it feels like we’ve lost touch with who we are and what truly matters, this book offers a fresh perspective—and a hopeful path toward restoration and reconciliation.

Through stories, hospitality, art, critical thinking, and even the simple joy of sharing a meal, we can rediscover what it means to be human and created in the image of God. This book invites you to look at life differently, like peering through the wavy glass of an old window that reshapes how we see the world. It’s a call to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect—with ourselves, with others, and with God.

Kimberly’s journey—from childhood wonder to the halls of MIT and beyond—shows how faith and curiosity can come together to bring healing and clarity in a fractured world. Whether you're weary from the noise of division or simply searching for beauty and truth, this book will inspire you to move forward with hope.

About the Author

As one of the first in her extended family to attend college, Kimberly studied Brain and Cognitive Science at MIT before getting her JD from Columbia University School of Law. Passionate about the intersection of justice and mercy, Kimberly worked on lobbying and advocacy for human rights, peace-building, and humanitarian needs for multiple international NGOs. 

From Sunday afternoon lunches with her great-grandmother and the belonging learned through extended family celebrations in rural western Pennsylvania to the importance of hospitality experienced in her work overseas, Kimberly appreciates the need for a welcoming space, good food and drink, connecting stories, and thoughtful, challenging dialogue.
