HEROES FOR MY SON

I am not a huge Brad Metzler fan but this book caught my attention. It could easily be written for kids or teens. I loved the variety of heroes the author selected and the reasons he chose for selecting them. Many were obvious American favorites but others were new to me and a surprise. He chose famous historical figures but also people like Oprah and Charlie Chaplin. I appreciated how he described how each of these people prevailed against the odds, often becoming heroes in highly unlikely ways given the difficulties they overcame.

I loved this book and will read it again.

Rating - A+
