....Is a hero simply someone who has achieved great financial and popular success? Is heroism just about money and fame? If so, any rich celebrity could qualify as a hero.
Or does being a hero have to do with the quality of a person's character? is it more about courage, determination, and a kind of inner fire that keeps a person going in the face of all kinds of difficulties?
The men and women featured in this book are heroes of the second sort. With one exception, they are not famous. Their lives have not been easy. They have faced obstacles and violence. Sometimes those obstacles have nearly destroyed their dreams. But each of them has found the strength to keep going, to keep on trying. They have stood up to the challenges of life and said, "You will not defeat me. I will overcome." Such people are "everyday heroes."
