Here you will find stories from Home and Family; Work and Dedication; Journeys; History and Struggle; and Fire and Water. The afterword states "These stories are a record of shared humanity. Hearing them, it becomes clear that no matter who we are or where we come from, there is much more in common that we share than that divides us. These stories are a reminder that if we spent a little less time listening to the racket of divisive radio and TV talk shows and a little more time listening to each other, we would be a better, more thoughtful and more compassionate nation."
