This book, "Remaking the Space Between Us" by Diana McLain Smith, couldn't have landed in my NetGalley queue at a more perfect time. The book hits all the right notes: America's current state of division, the need for solutions, and the power of everyday citizens to bridge the gap.

Smith's focus on "underlying trends" that have pushed us apart is intriguing. She shares her perspective on how citizens are already working to heal these divides. These "under the radar" stories give me hope that progress is possible.

The book is written in short, readable essays. This format is perfect for my busy schedule, allowing me to digest the information in bite-sized pieces. Overall, "Remaking the Space Between Us" is a powerful and inspiring read.
