In this constitutional crisis, if you feel dread like I do, this book can help.
I highly recommend historian Jill Lepore's This America -- The Case For the Nation (2019), because it can guide our thought and action into THE FUTURE.
It's short, 140 pages of double-spaced lines, pocket-sized.
When it comes to how we look ahead, its power and clarity flashes a love and understanding for this country that can mean the difference between (en)lightening and the (en)lightening bug.
There are times when reading IS doing.
