It is rare to read a walk through someone's life as their heart and conscience develops. Yet that is exactly what this book is.
It's not a memoir or autobiography; there is no overarching narrative. Instead, it is a series of meditations on what was on Rob's mind and in his heart at various moments, some reacting to events of his day or "the day" and others the result of long-ruminated-on questions.
Rob became a columnist for his local paper in 2011, when he was a senior in high school, and vaulted onto the national stage at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, speaking with the mother of Heather Heyer, a woman murdered at a counter-protest to the Confederate-loving neo-Nazi-embracing hate rally in Charlottesville earlier that month.
This is a serious book but not one that is burdened by being serious. It is full of joy and possibility and calls us all to believe in our tomorrows.-from the Introduction by Chelsea Clinton
