Everyday Heroes (Townsend Library)

Meet a few of the people whose stories appear in Everyday Heroes:

â€¢Rod Sutton was an angry, fatherless kid expelled from school at the age of thirteen for assaulting a teacher. Today he runs an innovative program that teaches high-risk youngsters to respect themselves and others.

â€¢Yvonne Chavez was a teenage mother caught up in gang violence and an abusive marriage. Today she is an outstanding college student who intends to practice law.

â€¢Elda Sara Morgan was an outcast in school, ignored or cruelly teased because of a disability. Today she is a teacher dedicated to finding the beauty and promise in each of her special-needs students.

â€¢Joe Davis was a high-school dropout, a drug addict, and a mugger. Today Joe is a college graduate with a a passionate mission to steer young people away from the path of self-destruction.

Everyday Heroes tells the stories of these and nine other men and women who have facedâ€”and overcomeâ€”serious challenges in their lives. The stories testify both to the power of their determination and to the resilience of the human spirit.
