| Summary |
Kyle and DeFelice have collected true stories of suffering, survival, and triumph from people across America. In embodying the 'American spirit' of resilience, faith and togetherness that has built the nation, these anecdotes profile how love, passion, and service can combine to help us persevere over personal pain and heal our communities. The stories these individuals tell can teach us how to find purpose, no matter the difficulties we face. -- adapted from jacket |
