Building Communities of Hope shares how people from many walks of life bring positive changes to their lives and those around them. Settings include Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Louisiana, California, New York, Texas, Florida, Wyoming, West Virginia, Puerto Rico, England, Central America, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and Ukraine. Readers shared they found practical tools from the stories about the people featured in the book. A few of the stories include: • The “little old lady in tennis shoes” led a movement for positive change for older adults. (A TV personality created the movement's name on air). • An 11-year-old boy who mobilized thousands to help the homeless. (About 40 years later, it's a huge and rocking nonprofit.) • A model of recovery on a motorcycle who brought health and healing to communities. (With attitude!) • A little engine on fire who engaged her entire community to give and build resources for children. (When so many said: "Can't be done.") • Someone who moved from an office in a broom closet to lead sweeping change. (Passion and purple hair with a vision.) • People who are living through health crises with love, faith, and hope. (Always with a lot of support from others.)
