Con un contributo audio inedito di Piero Angela. "Questo è probabilmente l'ultimo libro che scrivo. Non pensavo di farlo, ma poi ho riflettuto che forse ne valeva la pena. Adesso vorrei dire anch'io quello che penso, le domande che mi pongo, le cose che ho compreso... È un libro che forse voglio scrivere anche per me stesso, oltre che per i lettori."

Small acts of courage matter. Sometimes, they change the world. Our history books are filled with the stories of those who fought for democracy and freedom—for idealism itself—against all odds, from Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela to Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. These iconic struggles for social change illustrate the importance of engagement and activism, and offer a template for the battles we are fighting today. But using the right words is often easier than taking action; action can be hard, and costly.

Il loro è un piccolo borgo di tranquillo benessere in Pennsylvania, dove i ruoli sociali seguono schemi quasi inviolabili, ma Pink – come viene soprannominata la bambina – si dimostra presto inquieta e ribelle, più attratta dalle scorribande dei fratelli maggiori che dalle bambole, e al tempo stesso incuriosita dalla ricca biblioteca paterna.
