Community And Compassion

This is a wonderful book about real people and the triumph of the human spirit. It takes one far beyond any experience possible by watching some of the virtual reality efforts on TV to portray the pioneering experience. This is a must read for those who want to experience the triumph of the human spirit over adversity, the formation of a true community and the compassion inherent in the human soul.
