At Once An Exploration Of What Bravery Means And A Chronicle Of The Author'S Personal Journey Among Those Who Embody It, The Society Of Timid Souls Is A Profound, Approachable Meditation On This Most Valued And Mysterious Of Human Qualities. In Setting Off On The Trail Of The Lionhearted, Polly Morland Finds Out A Great Deal About What Makes Some Of Us Extraordinary, And What Of The Extraordinary We All Share.
