Based on the one essay provided, called Books, this book would be a good addition to our library. In fact the book was purchased.

Please note: it's hard to rate book entirely on one small portion, the rating here represents only the excerpt, the essay provided.

Dan Rather's book is a balm for these troubled times. Reading this makes one feel informed about the things that are happening in our country, yet still, somehow, hopeful.

Dan Rather is a treasure and he does an excellent job discussing the current atmosphere of America. His succinct writing style is perfect. The intro made me feel like I should be reading the book on a plane.

A timely book for all of us to reflect on, share, and learn from each other! Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced eChapter: Books.

Dan Rather is a great writer and this book of timely essays will be popular, especially because of Rather's new reach due to his thoughtful social media posts.

If this essay is indicative of the rest of the book then I need to own a copy for myself as well as purchase it for the library. I loved it!
