From the back cover: "From midnight to midnight on Wednesday, October 5, 1988, 117 photographers fanned out across the Kansas City metropolitan area and captured on film over 36,000 images of citizens pursuing their individual destinies. The beginning of life and its close, the elation of achievement and the disappointment in failure, the joy of sharing with others and the loneliness of isolation come through in the more than 200 pictures that were ultimately selected for this book.
