- Summary
- This book brings together a collection of profiles written about those guardian spirits who shaped, challenged, and inspired the author. It includes the famous, the lesser known, and the unknown: a tiny African American child threading her way through a cascade of racial epithets in the streets of New Orleans, a fellow physician-writer driven by his relentless pursuit of humanistic ideals, and an eighty-three-year-old New Mexico mother and wife who finds solace in the secrets of an inscrutable god.
