Repair: Healing a Divided Nation

From Wes Moore, only the third Black governor elected in America’s history, comes a bold interrogation of where America falls short, what we still do right, and how we rebuild—together. America is in crisis. Trust in government has eroded, and for too many Americans, the present feels unsettling while the future appears uncertain. Yet some of our nation’s most transformative ideas have emerged from its darkest times—from the New Deal to the Civil Rights Act. This moment will pass, and how we respond will determine the future of our country. Governor Wes Moore believes that the path forward lies not with institutions alone but with everyday Americans willing to confront hard truths and imagine something better. In Repair , he offers a vision for that work, rooted in a series of urgent, clarifying questions: What in our society is broken and must be restored, and what is so broken it cannot be repaired? What needs to be rebuilt from the ground up, and what, though still standing, must finally be dismantled? Just as important, what endures that is worth protecting? It’s time to move beyond Washington’s political division and chart a course based on shared values and radical honesty. Drawing on his military and business experience, Governor Moore’s vision is rooted in a deep sense of patriotism, which he describes as our shared responsibility in making America stronger. It’s also built on an unusual willingness to challenge assumptions, including the idea that higher education is the only path to success. Timely, unpredictable, and captivating, Repair is a compelling invitation to write our country’s next chapter.
