Description of
The Unclaimed Abandonment and Hope in the City of Angels [Audiobook]
B0CBCWMLDS M4B@64 kbps English | ASIN: B0CBCWMLDS | 2024 | 9 hours and 39 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 278 MB Author: Pamela Prickett, Stefan Timmermans Narrator: Nan McNamara The Unclaimed lays bare the difficult truth that anyone can be abandoned. It forces us to confront a variety of social ills, from the fracturing of families and the loneliness of cities to the toll of rising inequality. But it is also filled with unexpected moments of tenderness. In Boyle Heights, a Mexican American neighborhood not far from the glitter of Hollywood, hundreds of strangers come together each year to mourn the deaths of people they never knew. These ceremonies, springing up across the country, reaffirm our shared humanity and help mend our frayed social fabric. Beautifully crafted and profoundly empathetic, The Unclaimed urges us to expand our circle of caring-in death and in life.
