We love heroes. We call them that because they do heroic things. But heroic doesn't just mean putting oneself in danger to save another. It is also about putting others before self; about going the extra, extra mile; about struggling against and beating great odds; about doing the right thing because it is simply that, the right thing and about putting heart, soul and dedication into something you truly believe in. This book is a collection of stories, originally published in The Star, of such heroes and their heroic deeds. And that is what makes them extraordinary people.
