"Luke and Jennifer Reynoldstook the risk of compiling this eclectic volume, which considers risk in personal contexts, writing contexts, global contexts. Their book's charm is in its breadth, in its ability to blend literary flair with social conscience."
A feast of essays from top writers Ann Friou I am thrilled by the variety of contributors and topics and by the quality of the writing. I heard about the book from one of the featured authors, Tom Grimes. So, of course I read his essay first and was very moved by the story of his struggle with depression and his fear that Prozac would dull his instrument, his desire to write.

Dedicated to the People of Darfur: Writings on Fear, Risk, and Hope includes original and inspiring essays that celebrate the glories gained from taking risks, breaking down barriers, and overcoming any obstacles.Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners, a gallery of O.Henry award recipients, and many best-selling authors come together to share personal and compelling challenges and experiences.
