Hometown Heroes: Real Stories of Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things All Across America

All across America, ordinary people are going out of their way to help one another and make our country a better place. Unheralded, unrecognized, and often taken for granted, these citizens continue their good deeds, happy just to make a difference.

Hometown Heroes tells the stories of fifty such people from all over America, including Moody, Alabama, Ellisville, Illinois, and Lander, Wyoming. Spanning ages fourteen to ninety-three, the heroes inside this book show that it's never too early or too late to lend a helping hand and make inspiring choices. Capturing the true spirit of America--one of generosity, courage, and tireless devotion--these heroes warm our hearts and reveal a face of America we rarely hear about.
