Thank you, Eboo Patel, for this review of great heart in The Washington Post. He brings to it not just a wise critical eye and good ear but also his own experience with the hurting and the thriving Americas. Sometimes a reviewer writes lines you wish you had written instead: The True American gives you new eyes on your nation, makes you wonder about both the recent South Asian immigrant behind the counter at the food mart and the tattooed white man behind you in line. It reminds you that there are some Americas where mercy flows freely, and other Americas where it has turned to ice.
