Human(Kind), How Reclaiming Human Worth and Embracing Radical Kindness Will Bring Us Back Together

**A talented storyteller and peacemaker asks: Can kindness kindle a revolution?**

**"Ashlee teaches by example how to live with courage and compassion, and I believe her perspective and voice will be deeply meaningful to so many people."--Shauna Niequist**

Long before polls, protests, and political issues divided us, we were joined by a humanness that God considered *very good*. Created in his image, we reflected the height and depth of God's loving-kindness, but our discord has blinded us to the *imago Dei* in us all.

In this compelling collection of essays, Ashlee Eiland shares her story of being a black woman living on two sides of the fence: as the token black girl in majority-white spaces and as the "whitewashed" black girl in majority-black spaces. As she discovers her own unique worth through these recollections, Ashlee learns that extending radical kindness toward every person--regardless of social status, political views, or religious beliefs--gives us hope and rekindles our common humanity.

With grace and humility, *Human(Kind)* invites us to chart our own formative journeys and recognize our inherent value, cultivating empathy so we may once again see the image of God shining brightly within one another.
