Do You know your neighbors? Do you care about them? Recently, I found out that 2 of my neighbors spouses died and I did not know.That is inexcusable.We went to go visit the widowed spouses my daughter and I. This book is about 733 people who died alone in a heat wave in July 1995. It is a sad story of the apathy of our society. Many people were to blame.Most of all Richard Daly, mayor of Chicago from 1989-2011. The man was cold.
