For Americans who can't help but feel the tension, stress and trauma that surrounds us, for those of us wondering about our mental health or that of our children, for those of us who wonder what the disturbance in city streets is all about, for those of us who may be angry and upset at the mobs of young people , some of whom show little respect for other people's property, and for those among deny being afraid of Black skin, for those of us who are now concerned that we have lost our way as a nation -or think the opposite: that we are the best nation of all- this little book is for you.
