A shocking phone call after a routine medical exam. Despite no symptoms, Sharon’s husband had advanced kidney disease and he would die without a transplant. She shares the deeply personal story of a stranger saving Chris’s life, and what it taught her about the selflessness of others. Plus, her fascinating conversation with Colin Woodard, author of <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/nations-apart-how-clashing-regional-cultures-shattered-america-colin-woodard/b45db923a362583b?ean=9780593833407&next=t">Nations Apart</a>, who goes back generations to explain why America is so polarized, and tells us what we can do about it.
