Cynthia Moe-Lobeda welcomes us, her readers, into a personal conversation about despair and hope, drawing us close with her own honest voice. This poetic volume resonates with emotional intelligence about readers' feelings about extreme inequality and the accelerating climate crisis, and offers prompts for reflection and action. It's an enlivening and empowering read, joyfully offering stories and voices of people of many faiths and nations who are carrying out varied efforts for planetary healing. If our society turns a corner towards healthy, life-affirming systems, this kind of interwoven calls to personal growth, moral challenge, narrative transformation, and collective action for structural change will have been among the catalysts that brought us there.
