‘In this wonderful book about human resilience and hope, John Travers reminds us that it is in the simple acts that people shine and support each other in the most difficult of times. John makes the compelling case that it is the fundamental decency of humans that will always prevail, however difficult or trying the circumstances.’ – Professor Luke O’Neill

All of us have the power to find strength at life’s most vulnerable moments. Sometimes we forget this. Travers reminds us of one of our greatest gifts.
