“Most of our communities are fragmented and at odds within themselves. Businesses, social services, education, and health care each live within their own worlds. The same is true of individual citizens, who long for connection but end up marginalized , their gifts overlooked, their potential contributions lost. What keeps this from changing is that we are trapped in an old and tired conversation about who we are. If this narrative does not shift, we will never truly create a common future and work toward it together.”

This book is not so much about recovery, trauma, identifying as an adult child, or PTSD, and at the same time it is talking about people, groups of people and how we can be together with our gifts. It gives insights into transformative community, conversations that matter, invitation, and is a core read for folks that are involved in participatory leadership and the art of hosting conversations that matter.
