These are the inspiring true stories of ordinary people who made extraordinary choices in times of plague to help others. From a former special operations soldier who took an ailing village under his wing to the coronavirus whistleblowers of Wuhan, China, the real-life heroes in this little book serve as unforgettable examples of the power of commitment and connection in the face of fear and the unknown. Their stories are striking reminders that a heroic moment might just await each and every one of us.
