In a collection of original essays, the venerated television journalist, Dan Rather, celebrates shared values and what matters most in this great country, and shows what patriotism looks like. Writing about the institutions that sustain the people, such as public libraries, public schools, and national parks; the values that have transformed the people, such as the struggle for civil rights; and the drive toward science and innovation that has made the United States great, Rather will bring to bear his decades of experience on the frontlines of the world's biggest stories, and offer listeners a way forward.
