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 places such as Moody, Alabama; Ellisville, Illinois; and Lander, Wyoming. Spanning ages from fourteen to ninety-three, the heroes inside this book show that it's never to 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.Aldrich, Marta Warnick is the author of 'Hometown Heroes Real Stories of Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things All Across America', published 2007 under ISBN 9780061252389 and ISBN 0061252387.
