This week, our nation's 249th birthday was marred by political cruelty and cowardice. How to respond? Our 32nd President's example is a guiding light toward becoming better, not bitter.
Thanks for the book review and the excellent summary of growth required of us all. You may enjoy the companion story of FDR's Labor Secretary, Francis Perkins, The Woman Behind The New Deal, by Kristin Downey. This book and its gorgeous history summation has comforted me these past several months. I can stand resolute and productive if Francis Perkins could achieve what she achieved with her personal and political challenges (she began her work when it was still ok to abridge and deny women's voting rights.) You are an inspiration to wanna be writers, dear Cousin
