"Our first person is always plural."--Jeff Chang
Of the many inspiring and thought-provoking lines in this collection, Chang's words best describe the vision of hope that grounds this text. The writers represented in this short anthology of letters speak passionately of their fears and hopes. In some cases I found my own beliefs echoed and articulated; in others I found powerful witnesses to worlds I do not know. A moving and important book. I feel better--I'll do better--for having read it.
