This two-part mantra you've come up with is so so beautiful. Reminds of a line from Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front by Wendell Berry that I think about a lot: "Be joyful/though you have considered all the facts."
The ebook of 58 Facets is available on Indiebound for anyone who is interested in reading it that way. Looking forward to checking it out, Garrett. Thanks for the recommendation!
Both look interesting. There were posts a few months back on some other sites about another book that is more specifically about those maternity homes -- I think it was The Girls Who Went Away by Ann Fessler; I first heard about maternity homes/homes for unwed mothers last year when I read Grady Hendrix's Witchcraft for Wayward Girls.
I was also deeply relieved when I clicked on your headline and discovered that, no, the book that excited you so much was not "Atlas Shrugged."

"Books that made hands wave enthusiastically" is the best category of books! Thanks for the recommendations.
