Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Roosevelt emerges as blunt and opinionated, but also open, compassionate, and genuinely interested in others…
Quotable and surprisingly timely, this optimistic book is both
bracing and comforting.” * Publishers Weekly *
"The America that emerges through this 20-year sampling of Roosevelt's advice column is at once familiar and very long gone. We're still wrestling, of course, with arguments over civil liberties, national health care, the Electoral College and institutionalized racism and sexism. Roosevelt gamely weighed in on those "hot button" topics. But then there are a whole slew of other letters here that come out of an America so earnest it almost seems like the product of a work of speculative fiction . . . There's something very democratic about this 20-plus-year monthly "conversation" of sorts."—
NPR's "Fresh Air""Heartwarming, smart, and at times even humorous, this book highlights a collection of Roosevelt's best columns and allows her warm wit and wisdom to shine as an uplifting and timely 'advice guide.'" —
