It’s An Honor to Be Profiled in Everyday Heroes Book

Two years ago, photographer Paul Mobley and author and editor Katrina Fried set out to find fifty Americans who had made it their business to improve the lives of others. The result is Everyday Heroes: 50 Americans Changing the World One Nonprofit at a Time from Welcome Books (2012). The groundbreaking book profiles some of America’s leading social entrepreneurs whose energy and nonprofit organizations have changed the lives of millions around the world, very often one at a time.  Arianna Huffington provides the Foreword to the volume from Welcome Books. This visual book introduces you to the stories, causes, and portraits of fifty courageous individuals who have made an astonishing difference in the lives of others. From activists who have rallied the support of hundreds of volunteers to bring such necessities as clean drinking water, economic support, and urgent medical care to developing nations, to educational leaders who are using their gifts to elevate the opportunities of the poor and disadvantaged, to crusaders of equal rights and women's advocacy, and many more. Award-winning photographer, Paul Mobley, brings a grace and epic quality to each of the extraordinary "ordinary" heroes' portraits.  Traveling the country to capture his subjects where they live and work, Mobley has created a body of images that harnesses the spirit and energy of giving.  Hardcover on sale at Barnes and Noble $29.95 (save 33% off original $45.00 price).
