{"product_id":"respect-9780738203188","title":"Respect","description":"In these many-layered and masterfully written portraits, Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot reaches deep into human experience -- from the drama of birth to the solemn vigil before death -- to find the essence of respect. In her moving vision, relayed through powerfully told stories, respect is not the passive deference offered a superior but an active force that creates symmetry even in unequal relationships. The reader becomes an eyewitness to the remarkable empowering nature of respect, both given and received -- be it between doctor and patient, teacher and student, photographer and subject, and midwife and laboring mother. They will feel it in the reverent attention paid by a minister to the last moments of life, and in the Harvard Law School professor's lively curiosity about his student's extracurricular lives. Through the power of her narrative, Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot ultimately makes the reader an intimate partner in her observations of respect linking these varied and intense relationships. A book to be savored and shared, \u003ci\u003eRespect\u003c\/i\u003e has the power to transform lives.","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51391595381041,"sku":"9780738203188","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pageaday.com\/products\/respect-9780738203188","provider":"Page-A-Day","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
