Books to Change Your Perspective

Reading can make us more empathetic and compassionate. It allows us to step in someone else's shoes and see what life looks like through the eyes of another. Reading can also help us to more deeply understand the issues that affect our lives. These are books that changed my perspective on issues, people, and places. Some are non-fiction, some fiction. Which have you read?
