In One Heart with Courage, Teri Rizvi brings a powerful, original voice to a collection of essays that shows why our dreams matter. Woven throughout her writings is a deep faith in what’s possible when we open our hearts.
A journalist and storyteller who has traveled widely, Rizvi writes with grace and eloquence about her marriage, which spans two cultures and two religions in a world that’s too often divided. Her lyrical writings illuminate our shared humanity through a series of small, everyday moments - a child’s T-ball practice, a socially distanced parking lot lunch with a friend - as well as recollections of major life milestones such as joyful weddings in foreign lands.
This debut collection explores universal themes of friendship, family and faith with vulnerability, hope and poignancy. The book takes its title from a phrase that Martin Sheen uttered when he received an honorary degree from the University of Dayton: Remember this above all: One heart with courage is a majority. This courage - together with a writer’s lifelong curiosity - has fueled Rizvi’s life journey, and it is one that readers will relish taking at her side.
