Everyday Heroes

ReviewEveryday Heroes tells the moving stories of twenty real-life men and women who have faced--and overcome--serious challenges in their lives. The people in the book are not the media-created heroes of our sports or entertainment worlds. They are ordinary people who can be seen as heroes because they have had the courage to stand up to life's difficulties. The multicultural stories and accompanying photographs (there are five or six photos of each subject) inspire students to take charge of their lives and to do their best. --From the PublisherThis book is part of the Townsend Library, a collection of high-interest paperbacks published by Townsend Press to promote reading among today s students.
