Marisa Crane
The Department of Balance has adopted a radical new form of law enforcement: rather than incarceration, wrongdoers are given another shadow as a reminder of their crime – and a warning to others. These Shadesters are disenfranchised, publicly shamed, and deprived of civil rights protections. Kris is a Shadester and a new mother to a baby born with a second shadow of her own. Kris struggles with her grief for the loss of her wife, alcohol, and raising a child alone. As the kid grows, Kris finds her footing, raising a child whose irrepressible spark cannot be dampened by the harsh realities of the world, and together they make a new life, supported by a community of fellow misfits who defy the Department to lift one another up in solidarity and hope.
Sarah Bakewell
In this fascinating, well-organized journey through the evolution of humanism, Bakewell introduces us to the men and women who have resisted religious dogma and fixed ideologies to carve out a way of thinking in which individuals occupy center stage. Humanists are freethinkers, following no predetermined path. They are committed to inquiry and formal education and believe that “the meaning of our lives is to be found in our connections and bonds with others.” Bakewell acknowledges anti-humanism as well, and reflects on the challenges that a turbulent 20th century posed to overcoming injustice through independent thought, moral inquiry, and mutual respect. Humanly Possible skilfully combines philosophy, history and biography. It is scholarly yet accessible, and portrays people and ideas with vitality and without anachronism, making them affecting and alive.
Jennifer Lynn Barnes
