(show)  Bob Massie, A Song in the Night " Bob Massie is one of the country's great heroes. Despite--or really because of--the adversity he's faced, he's tried at every turn to change the world for the better. And he's succeeded with gratifying frequency! Eloquent writing about a remarkable life!" Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet" A song in the night is a moving and memorable story of courage, conviction, and personal relationships that touched me deeply. Bob Massie is quietly and eloquently heroic in a way I won't soon forget." Tom Brokaw, author of The Time of Our Lives
Bob Massie is an American environmental leader, author, Episcopal priest, and former anti-apartheid activist. His book Loosing the Bonds: America and South Africa in the Apartheid Years won the Lionel Gelber Prize for the Best Book on International Relations in 1997.

Tickets are available at A Cappella Books ( http://acappellabooks.com/ ) and online: https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/198897 . Tom Brokaw, known and beloved for his landmark work in American journalism and for the New York Times bestsellers The Greatest Generation and Boom!, now turns his attention to the challenges that face America in the new millennium, to offer reflections on how we can restore America’s greatness. “What happened to the America I thought I knew?” Brokaw writes. “Have we simply wandered off course, but only temporarily? Or have we allowed ourselves to be so divided that we’re easy prey for hijackers who could steer us onto a path to a crash landing? . . . I do have some thoughts, original and inspired by others, for our journey into the heart of a new century.” Rooted in the values, lessons, and verities of generations past and of his South Dakota upbringing, Brokaw weaves together inspiring stories of Americans who are making a difference and personal stories from his own family history, to engage us in a conversation about our country and to offer ideas for how we can revitalize the promise of the American Dream. Inviting us to foster a rebirth of family, community, and civic engagement as profound as the one that won World War II, built our postwar prosperity, and ushered in the Civil Rights era, Brokaw traces the exciting, unnerving changes in modern life – in values, education, public service, housing, the Internet, and more – that have transformed our society in the decades since the age of thrift in which he was raised. Offering ideas from Americans who are change agents in their communities, in The Time of Our Lives, Brokaw gives us, a wise, honest, and wide-ranging book, a nourishing vision of hopefulness in an age of dimished expectations. Tom Brokaw is the author of five best sellers: "The Greatest Generation", "The Greatest Generation Speaks", "An Album of Memories", "A Long Way from Home", and "BOOM!". He continues to report for NBC News, producing long-form documentaries and providing expertise during breaking news events. Brokaw has won every major award in broadcast journalism, including two DuPonts, a Peabody Award, and several Emmys.
