520    "[T]he twenty-one essays collected here reflect their 
       authors' unapologetic observations of the world around 
       them.  From an inmate stuggling to find purpose during his
       prison sentence to a doctor coping with the unpredictable 
       nature of her patient, to a widow wishing for just a 
       little more time with her late husband, these narratives--
       and the others featured in this anthology--celebrate the 
       endurance of the human spirit." --back cover
