A systematic approach that guides almost everything we say and do, yet is seldom employed in the chambers of government. Intellectual tools to diagnose and treat difficult problems. As such, the world of Medicine has valuable assets to offer the political multiverse: A culture of excellence. These interstellar innovations launched American healthcare into a continuously self-improving model of advancing performance. In the past four decades, American hospitals have garnered principles of safety from the aviation industry, gathered tips about quality from automobile manufacturers, and gleaned insights into customer service from the hotel trade. Is this the cancer of our advancing age? The long, slow, terminal decline that will defy the best approaches of modern Medicine? Our fitful end? Not necessarily. Now, here we are, nearly forty years into a chronic illness that has resisted our best efforts at diagnosis. Our economic progress has fallen off its once-blistering pace, our ability to shape world events has been checked, and our vaunted democratic institutions have begun to collapse around us. Yet, in recent years, there have been unmistakable signs of chronic illness. Book Synopsis A NATION IN DISTRESS America has enjoyed an enviable life.

Cady also has an affinity for taming wild forest creatures, and she can eat the deadly berries from the belladonna plant. Soon Hannah's new friend begins to appear in more modern clothes, which are almost exact copies of what Hannah is wearing. Hannah can't quite put her finger on it, but there is something "off" about Cady, who wears oddly outdated shoes and clothing. Hannah slips into the habit of escaping frequently to visit this forbidden area of the forest and is surprised every time how all signs of the outside world seem to vanish. She encounters a new friend, 12-year-old Cady. Her dad has warned her not to go past the first row of pine trees, but she ignores this advice and is shocked to discover a hidden world in the quiet respite. Distraught over being abandoned by her two best friends, Luisa and Sara, who leave for spectacular summer trips, Hannah seeks solace in the peaceful forest behind her new home.

Andrew had spoken previously at MMFS: he presented as a part of the MMFS Parents Association Speaker Series in 2013 and he received MMFS’s Adam’s Prize in 2017.
