In these many-layered and masterfully written portraits, Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot reaches deep into human experience from the drama of birth to the solemn vigil before death to find the essence of respect. In her moving vision, relayed through powerfully told stories, respect is not the passive deference offered a superior but an active force that creates symmetry even in unequal relationships. The reader becomes an eyewitness to the remarkable empowering nature of respect, both given and received be it between doctor and patient, teacher and student, photographer and subject, and midwife and laboring mother. They will feel it in the reverent attention paid by a minister to the last moments of life, and in the Harvard Law School professor's lively curiosity about his student's extracurricular lives. Through the power of her narrative, Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot ultimately makes the reader an intimate partner in her observations of respect linking these varied and intense relationships. A book to be savored and shared, Respect has the power to transform lives. | Respect by Sara Lawrence-lightfoot Paperback | Indigo Chapters Books > Health > Mental Health > Psychology & Psychiatry P10174, Sara Lawrence-lightfoot<
