  Witness - Stories

  What does it mean to really see the world around you—to bear witness? And what does it cost us, both to see and not to see? 
   
  In these ten stories, each set in the changing landscapes of contemporary New York City, a range of characters—from children to grandmothers to ghosts—live through the responsibility of perceiving and the moral challenge of speaking up or taking action. Though they strive to  
  connect with, stand up for, care for, and remember one another, they often fall short, and the structures they build around these ambitions and failures shape their futures as well as the legacies and prospects of their communities and their city. 
   
  In its portraits of families and friendships lost and found, the paradox of intimacy, the long shadow of grief, and the meaning of home, Witness enacts its own testimony. Here is a world where fortunes can be made and stolen in just a few generations, where strangers might sometimes  
  show kindness while those we trust—doctors, employers, siblings—too often turn away, where joy comes in snatches: flowers on a windowsill, dancing in the street, glimpsing your purpose, change on the horizon. 
   
  With prose as upendingly beautiful as it is artfully, seamlessly crafted, Jamel Brinkley offers nothing less than the full scope of life and death and change in the great, unending drama of the city.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  “You want to see well? See with your heart. The essential is invisible to your eyes” 
  “You want to see well? See with your heart. The essential is invisible to your eyes” 
  In a quiet park at dusk, as I walk, a bright light suddenly appears. As I approach, I see a being like a light watching me with curiosity. 
  He explains that he's visiting. He asks if I could guide him to better understand humanity. He was very kind, and I didn't feel afraid. 
  We sat in the park. I really wanted to speak that afternoon from within. 
  I sensed in him a mixture of sadness for the arduous struggles for freedom on this planet. "Here on Earth, I see you still searching for that connection," he told me with a note of sadness in his luminous voice. "But don't give up. The potential is within you." 
  For those seeking deep, the book becomes an explicit explanation of The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince).
