A collection of nineteen thoughtful and detailed profiles of people I've never heard of or know little about. The fact that each profile was intriguing enough to hold my attention is testimony both to Remick's choice of subject and his skill as a writer. These are complex individuals who, in some way, are either agents of change or represent challenges to established ideals. Remick wisely allows them space to speak for (and sometimes condemn) themselves.
