A fatherly thriller writer and a young female progressive journalist explore America’s political divide from opposite sides by trying to find common ground. Through their conversations and interviews with Americans from different walks of life, they gain a better understanding of each other and their country, the imperfect but exceptional United States of America, where You Own You. Awake is a gentler version of Still Common Sense, which digs deeply into how America got into a situation where many Americans feel obligated to ignore and even chastise the other side.
