Leaned more religion-centered than I somehow anticipated, but definitely still had some favorite chapters. And it was interesting to hear their perspectives and experiences.

More narrative than being very data/facts & figures heavy. I really liked the layout, though I think chapter arrangement could have been a bit different. There are other homes in Annapolis/Maryland that could’ve been discussed. It also would have been great to have another “upper south” or northern location be discussed.
