| Summary |
"[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 |
