Fragile is the documentation of life stories in sixty-five countries. It is about personal accounts, some successful, some shattering. The book is an effort to move intellectual discussions to face emotional realities. It is one man's attempt to bring this reality to those who may be motivated to affect change.

It is difficult to write a book about so much that is wrong in the world—the stark truth may cause many readers to turn away, but if stories are sugar-coated, the truth becomes distorted. There is a fine balance between suffering and solutions.

FRAGILE: The Human Condition Reviews

  • Jarrett Bell

    "Humans of New York" goes to the poorest places on earth. A slap-in-the-face contrast with the freedoms we enjoy in the U.S. Hard to get through.

  • Brenda Mannino

    This book combines photography with the stark realism of poverty. What we don't know can hurt us. Every time I go to the supermarket I now think of how readily available and diverse our food is and I will never complain about a slow checkout line again.

  • Dustin Tramel

    You can't flip through this book and not be motivated to do something, anything, to bring a little peace into the world. The book is also a shocking reality check that we "must not rest in the comfort of our freedom." Great photographs and content. A must read.

  • Kimberly Wilson

    Beautiful! Our children loved looking at the pictures and hearing the stories.

  • Ann
