The New York Times bestselling author and Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean returns with more inspiring stories of people who know how to find light in dark times.
While the news is filled with villains and villainy, we do see a few famous heroes now and again. But what about the everyday heroes? The people going out of their way bring a little love into someone else's life? They deserve a time in the spotlight to inspire us all.
Life can be tough--but it helps to know other people have come through hard times with a smile on their face. In Make Your Own Sunshine, Janice Dean shares inspiring stories that will lift your spirit and touch your heart. Good people are all around us doing selfless deeds, from a firefighter who bravely battled for his colleague's health after 9/11 to a good Samaritan who secretly pays for the coffees of everyone in line behind him. You can't help but smile reading about the teacher who cut her hair to make her student feel better. And you may shed a tear when you hear the story of the dad who never missed writing a napkin note for his daughter, including stashing extra notes in case he lost his batter with cancer. From a young man who makes bow ties for dogs waiting to be adopted to an Uber driver who brightened a new mom's day by helping her buy baby clothes, the heroes in this story will warm your heart and stick in your mind.
Janice has made it her mission to uncover and document these good stories to inspire us and gives us a much-needed boost of optimism. All we have to do is open our minds and our hearts, to look for the light on a cloudy day. Because as she reminds us, if we don't make our own sunshine--who will?
- Everyday Heroes: Discover true stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things--from a firefighter who fought for his friend after 9/11 to an Uber driver who became a new mom's guardian angel.
- Overcoming Adversity: Find strength and resilience in tales of courage, like the dad who stockpiled loving napkin notes for his daughter while battling cancer.
- Uplifting True Stories: Smile, laugh, and maybe even shed a happy tear with tales of a teacher who cut her hair in solidarity with a student or a young man who makes bow ties for shelter dogs.
- A Dose of Optimism: Written with the signature warmth of Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean, this book is a powerful reminder that there is always more good in the world if you know where to look.
