Neighbors : the power of the people next door / Brenda Krause Eheart.
"A compelling vision for a compassionate America. In this era of angry politics, fractured support systems, and life-threatening pandemics, a powerful sense of being disconnected from all that is familiar looms large. In our daily lives and across the nation, feelings of despair and helplessness run deep. Neighbors offers a hopeful template for change. It is a true story -- one about vulnerable children, struggling families, and undervalued seniors -- and about a planned, intergenerational neighborhood where people, by the power of their love and caring for one another, provide a vision of how we would like to live and how we can live." -- From back cover.
