NRPL Author Series: Reggie Marra, author of Healing America’s Narratives

Reggie Marra tackles some big issues in his provocative, insightful,and heartfelt book, Healing America’s Narratives which provides historical, psychological, cultural, and political context for the mood of America in the third decade of the twenty-first century.

America is divided, in decline, and struggling to live up to its promise while trying to figure out a clear path to a better future. Patriotic and proud Americans across the political spectrum are contending with this conflicted realization. Marra's new book takes a hard, loving look at America, suggests that its state of affairs is inevitable, and presents a way to heal, reconcile, inspire, and move us forward.
