The first is the author's reflection on finding meaning for life during his stay in a concentration camp during WWII; the second is about what is happening as we age, now that life expectancy has been increased but the elderly are not taken care of in the context of an extended family, but more often placed in care homes.

The author is a black lawyer who defends death row convicts, many of whom are innocent. He writes about how many in the colored and/or poor communities are victimized as criminals because of their skin and/or circumstances. It was a good, albeit tough, read, and really great during this Year of Mercy.

It's sooooo good and so eye opening. I'm also in the middle of reading Boundaries! These books are just so chalk full of great advice and life changing messages. I'm definitely going to look into your other two! Briannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068633642567781108noreply@blogger.com
