America is an emotional, misbehaving child and needs a time-out to reflect on our bad choices and recall the good people we really are. We were all children at one point. We were taught to behave well within our family, and with others. Families make up communities; communities make up towns and cities; and these make up our 50 states. Our 50 states make up our nation. So why at the national level do we think this advice no longer applies?In the original NATIONAL SECURITY MOM (Wyatt-MacKenzie, 2008) Gina Bennett introduced the idea that the rules we use for parenting our children are the same we should follow in securing America. This follow-up, AMERICA NEEDS A TIME-OUT: NATIONAL SECURITY 2, takes the analogy further and highlights how the indispensable parenting tool of a time-out could apply to America. Bennett explores what it will take to make human beings—in this case women and girls—truly secure. Bennett looks at the insecurity posed by the polarization of our country and offers a different framework than the norm for bridging our national divides. AMERICA NEEDS A TIME-OUT also shares the essays and letters of young women Bennett has taught, revealing what it truly takes to make the next generation feel secure in their daily lives. “Offers a ray of hope that our divided nation can find common ground. If you share that hope and want to expand your own thinking about security, READ THIS BOOK.” — Jody Williams, Nobel Peace Prize Winner
