You'll be enriched and inspired by these wonderful tales.

Faith Middleton, host of a very popular call-in show on Connecticut Public Radio, has assembled an extraordinary collection of her caller's stories, about good deeds that happen every day, but get ignored by a media obsessed with bad news. Particularly moving and important is the chapter on Faith's monthly Alcoholics Anonymous call-in meeting. If you know anyone with a drinking problem who's still denying that it exists, you might want to give them this book.
