Leaving Fingerprints

Renee Valentine, a drug addict, drunkard, and rape victim, directed her life experience into the creation of "Milagro House," a women's shelter that has provided a safe haven for three hundred families. Naomi Feil grew up on the grounds of an old age home, and spent her career teaching caregivers how to handle the demented. Alfreda Robinson walked out of a jail in West Virginia and devoted her life to helping paroled women. Gloria Sananes Stein celebrates twenty-one "quiet Americans," who helped oil the wheels of change. The fingerprints they leave on people's lives often resonate beyond expectations.
