Our nation is indeed mired in a sense of division. But this author's experience meeting thousands of people in hundreds of settings leaves him celebrating a deeper and more encouraging reality.

As a retired physician assistant and serial volunteer, VanLaeys inspires his readers with a warm heart, and insight layered upon a storied past. Well-traveled, he carries with him a conviction that there is so much more that unites us than divides us and he thrives on the random encounters and connections which support his case. He also provides practical guidelines for more engaged listening as a means to open up previously closed lines of communication.

Having just waded through a particularly challenging year, VanLaeys is still optimistic that with a broad and concerted effort, we can redirect this tide to take us back toward a more United America.
