It is quiet in the woods this afternoon. A cloudy day, restful and at peace.
A great horned owl hoots a mournful call from a hidden perch in the trees above me. Another responds, further away. Does the grey day suit their mood?

The topic is important. The stories are by turns gripping and human. The overall construction of the book gave me whiplash, spinning from one character to another. |

Hannah took me right into the dust bowl, and into the desperation of those who were at the mercy of exploitative an ag industry, and dared to stand up for fair wages. Masterful writing. |

“The failure of decision makers to grapple with the inner workings of their own minds, and their desire to indulge their gut feelings, made it “quite likely that the fate of entire societies may be sealed by a series of avoidable mistakes committed by their leaders.”

“In an interview I did with David Brooks in 2019, the genially conservative New York Times columnist reflected on the social agony criticizing Trump had caused him. “I had been part of the conservative movement my whole life,” he told me. “The Weekly Standard. The Wall Street Journal National Review Washington Times. Suddenly, I wasn’t the kind of conservative all the other conservatives were, and so my social circles drifted away.”

“Do I know how to love, how not to harm, how to protect and defend, how to be sanctuary? I have believed from the moment I gave birth to Alex and Benjamin, my kept children, that I know the obligations of a mother’s love. My two young sons are growing up inside their trust in me. I try so hard to be a good mother. I am safety, tenderness, praise. But I am also, always, the child cast out to the world a long time ago. I move between the sorrows of my past and an unrelenting will to love my children well. I am child, and I am mother.”
