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.
