Americans in Their Own Words

This book is about Americans who often go unnoticed and unnamed, who fly under the radar. As you read their personal stories, you will realize they embody the same spirit that fills the select few. Contrary to that smooth upward curve we wish for in our children, there are many paths, not all of them positive, that make life's struggle exciting and worth reading about. Their contributions to that spirit are related in these pages by the participants themselves.
