Ordinary Heroes of Old Delmarva brings good news from America’s days gone by, with 34 inspiring true tales of courage, kindness, and community.The setting is a national treasure.

What to expect:• Thrilling tales of survival and shipwreck • Heartwarming tales of everyday women and men reaching out to strangers and neighbors with brave helping hands. • Inspiring tales of can-do community togethernessOrdinary Heroes is an uplifting blend of history, storytelling, and inspiration. It’s set on Delmarva, but it speaks to the broader American experience. Grab a copy to revive your spirit, connecting with a fresh array of kind and resilient role models. The footprints these ordinary heroes left aren’t just remnants from the past. They point forward, too, showing us how to become better people and build stronger communities here in the 21st century.
