In an age of division, anger, and intolerance this story of a flawed family that loves each other in spite of differences sends a powerful message. We are all part of the human family, and as a family, we need to love each other in spite of our seeming differences. ‘Fighting with My Family’ is the micro-story that gives a divided world an example of how to be. Stories transform the world. I hope to see more stories like this one. The human community needs them.
