other areas of law and politics where narratives have been reduced to battles between the religious and the secular. And this is my one criticism of this book, which underscores its strength: Palazzo and Redding’s ambitions here whet the appetite for more realities and possible
alliances between traditionally opposite sides of cultural narratives. We need more volumes like this, more discoveries of realities beneath mainstream cultural conversations regarding differences in family and relationships. We can and need to do more work."
