First Things First: From fragile neighborhoods to fruitful communities
I recently had the pleasure of diving into Seth Kaplan's thought-provoking book "Fragile Neighborhoods," and it's one of those reads that has stayed with me, simmering in my mind long after I turned the last page. Kaplan's research paints a vivid picture of the state of our neighborhoods today — highlighting the fragility many of them face — and presents a compelling case for why strong, healthy families and relationships are the bedrock of thriving communities. As someone deeply invested in fostering strong family ties, I found his insights both alarming and motivating.
