The Small and the Mighty: Twelve Unsung Americans Who Changed the Course of History by Sharon McMahon

hopeful informative inspiring medium-paced

4.0

If you are struggling to make sense of the way things are looking right now, pick up this book. I felt such a boost and heightened sense of hope every time I read a chapter or two. True, it is apparent that McMahon has opinions and isn’t afraid to insert them. It reads with an almost conversational tone at times, and I would expect this to be more in the YA range than adult. I did get a little lost here and there when she inserted oddly placed side stories. I’d love to see how she grows as a writer, as there is definitely room for growth. Still… I loved how I felt after reading. There have been so many good people doing good things for our nation, simply because they are the right things to do. It’s easy to lose sight of that while staying glued to the news.
