A really good story about what it means to be in community, especially with folks who are different. It gives great examples of what it means to be good, both in nature and in practice, what it means to be there for your community and what it means to make your neighborhood your community. It also gives amazing tales of minority unity, how folks can stand up for one another and be there without trying that hard. Sometimes it takes simple acts and sometimes it takes a strong voice.
