A Quiet Courage by Paula Todd Thomas Allen Publishers, 2004 ISBN: 0887621554 The stories in this book are proof that loss, injustice, and setbacks need not diminish us, but can ultimately shore us up. Tragedy, while unwelcome, can also contribute to our worth and deepen our understanding of life as much as, if not more than, success. These are astounding, compelling stories from all of us; stories that will make you rethink how you live.
