چکیده
The mother of your child’s best friend. The man who waited on you at the hardware store last week. Your brother-in-law. The woman in front of you in the check-out line at the market. Your favorite teacher in high school. The homeless woman who’s always at your subway stop. Your doctor. The eight year old son of the family three doors down. Your co-worker at the plant who brings doughnuts for everybody. Your minister. The teller at the bank. Your college roommate’s wife. The farmer who grew the potato you’ll have for dinner tonight. Your grandmother at the nursing home. The father of your paperboy. Perhaps, even you.
