The Art of Belonging

More about the book

"A detailed and passionate argument for the role of communities in helping us develop as moral human beings...creates a fictional suburb, Southwood, and populates it with characters who, like most of us, struggle to reconcile their need to belong with their desire to live life on their own terms. We witness the conflicts that arise when individuals assert their needs at the expense of others, but we also glimpse the satisfactions that flow from contributing to the common good." -- Back cover.
