Published in 2018-19, eighth graders at The Summit Country Day School reveal the vibrant hues of humanity through the stories by giving a voice to these stories of Holocaust survivors, survivors of Soviet internment camps, survivors of Japanese internment camps, survivors of rape, civil rights attorneys, faith leaders, foster parents, parents of children with ongoing medical needs, parents who have lost a child to a drunk driver, immigrants, refugees, teachers, activists, journalists, writers, and veterans of war. Within the stories you will discover a harmony of voices, a diverse experience of life, an ever present sense of optimism - a strong tower of stones – a cairn of hope - stories which stand stacked together in solidarity wielding the weapons of humanity: respect, empathy, inclusion, love, and justice.
