I've had this for years. I pulled it out again recently because I needed a reminder that not only are we all God's Children, we are all responsible for all children in the world.

I defy you not to be moved by the title piece by this columnist.

The other sections of the books may not resonate with everyone, some do speak more to parents. However, there are still nuggets to be mined. Many collections of pieces by local columnists start to wear because they are tied to closely to the town covered, Ina Hughes' work avoids this.
