Finding Common Ground

One Octogenarian’s Quest to Help Our Nation Heal

By: Marilyn Siden, Robynne Elizabeth Miller

Narrated by: Jodie Stevens

Why would a feisty almost-80-year-old grandmother slip into her Birkenstocks, throw a sleeping bag into the back of her Subaru, and set out across America?

Because she'd had enough. Enough anger. Enough hatred. Enough division.

Marilyn Siden has lived through much: the aftermath of World War II, Korea, and the horror of Vietnam. She's navigated good political administrations and struggling ones, a thriving economy and want. Her eight decades of experience living in the US have shown her the best America has to offer, and, unfortunately, the worst. But she never thought America would become a place of vitriol and despair.

So, she decided to do something about it.

Through a series of epic journeys across America, Marilyn discovered what she was after: practical advice on how to help our nation heal.

But she found something she wasn't expecting...something far more powerful.

Marilyn found our common ground.

Refreshing Reflective Revelatory Read

A healthy reminder that every season of our lives has some thing tumultuous taking place whether it be local, regional, national or international. There’s always unrest somewhere. I appreciate the many stories of real people who are often pursuing much of the same thing, which is to feel safe physically and emotionally, and find some level of purpose and meaning in their lives. Thank you Ms. Marilyn for going on a journey not only for yourself but for all of us. It’s one thing to take the journey and another to take the time to document it and boldly share it with all of us. Brilliant and well crafted storytelling. I am encouraged and compelled to listen first and ask questions to learn not just what others may believe but also their journey of how they landed there. If you are somehow reading this review in an attempt to decide whether to invest in this audiobook, I recommend going for it…I believe you will be well rewarded.

A good documentation of the Author’s unique experience while taking a zigzag road trip from west to east America to look for ideas to help ourselves and USA overall!👍🏼
