The Small and the Mighty: Twelve Unsung Americans Who Changed the Course of History by Sharon McMahon
3.5
I am so grateful for Sharon McMahon and her voice of reason and integrity. This book accomplishes its intended goal of fostering hope and encouraging the reader that seemingly small
actions can be deeply meaningful. I appreciated learning some new historical events and figures. It does read as more a collection of short stories and at times felt a bit hard to track, as there are quite a number of people introduced. The writing style of this book felt to be a different tone than some of McMahon writing in other platforms, and I found it to actually feel a bit challenging to read just in terms of style. These factors led to it being more of a slow read for me, which was the best way to digest this book, I think. A good read for any American, and a timely reminder that we are not powerless and our actions matter.
