This book is a crucial resource to help navigate today's polarized world. Beth and Sarah, of the Pantsuit Politics podcast which started in 2015, thread together personal stories, concrete examples, and reflection questions into a helpful guide exploring relationships: how to keep them, how to mend them, and how to expand them. From partners and kids to your local community and the global human network, Beth and Sarah break down how to approach sensitive topics and keep an open mind. I cannot recommend this book (and their podcast!) highly enough!

These two authors make me feel hopeful.
I appreciate their voices of reason and levelheadedness even when I don’t agree on their positions.
I especially appreciated the chapters on talking to kids about politics as well as how we should stop viewing our communities as consumers but as contributors.

Keeping this on my bookshelf to reference again and again! A must read - cover to cover. Would be a great book club or community group pick!

I have listened to these women for years and their follow-up book is everything I needed it to be and more. They remind us how to relate to each other and highlight the importance of living in a diverse society. They explain the importance of all kinds of government, from our city governments that control our sewage systems to the national government that makes laws for all citizens. They remind us that we are global citizens and that what happens on the other side of the planet can have a very real impact on us. And as always, they make me want to be a better person, a better mother, and a better citizen and give me the tools to do so. This book is a must-read for all Americans who want to know how to move forward together.

Perfect timing to pick up this book with the primary elections just ending. I enjoy listening to Sarah and Beth on their podcast Pansuit Politics where they allow for discussion of politics with grace. Reading this book was like having a discussion on life, friendship, and family over a cup of coffee or tea on issues we are facing in our world today.

In true Sarah and Beth fashion, they meet you where you are with grace and thoughtfulness. How can we move forward when we disagree? How can we care about each other in community? We all need these voices in our ears.
