The First Thaw

Difficult people are everywhere. It probably wouldn’t take you too long to think of who they are in your own life: from a difficult coworker to the passive-aggressive friend, from the distant spouse to your exhausting child. So, what are we to do: ignore them, confront them, shun them? In our new series “Defrost,” we will explore how the agents of love, forgiveness, and our words have the power to thaw even the iciest of relationships.
