Like a skilled artist creates a masterpiece with a brush, Grace Virtue paints burning images with words. She takes the reader on a historical journey through places that pierce the psyche with pain, and spaces that lift the spirit with beauty and love. Demonstrating unique sensitivity, she covers cultural contradictions, nature, family inspiration and love, greed, insecurity, and intractable structures. With keen insight into the intersection of economic systems and social interactions, she puts forth a prescription for addressing inequities that give rise to a win-win for those in power and those who are deprived. Indeed this is a riveting read. I am looking forward to her next work! -EB Senior Research Fellow, Rise Institute
