First of all, I have to say that I absolutely adore this cover. Just looking at it melts my heart. I believe that it is the perfect representation for what is behind the cover.Brad Meltzer is a well-known author that many have read and enjoyed. His novels are filled with intrigue, suspense and roller coaster thrills. Heroes for My Daughters takes readers into the heart of Mr. Meltzer and brings to life the glorious and untouchable love that he feels for his precious daughter. Just how does he do this? By providing a written legacy of sorts. Mr. Meltzer takes women (and men) that he admires and feels has made an enormous impact on the world and writes this down for his daughter. Each page contains a photograph of the hero as well as a page that talks about that person, what they have done in life and a lovely quote by them. These heroes range far and wide from well-known persons such as Helen Keller, Winston Churchill, Mahatma Gandhi and Jane Goodall to a bit lesser known people such as Dorothea Lange, Hannah Senesh, Wilma Rudolph and Temple Grandin. My favorite is Alex Scott's story. It truly brought tears to my eyes and an ache to my heart. Mr. Meltzer, of course, includes his wife, mother and grandmother in this inspirational and touching book that his daughter is sure to treasure and pass along to her own child someday. I loved catching a glimpse inside these women that raised and touched the author personally.Heroes to My Daughter is such a wonderful, inspirational and brilliant book. I commend the author for bringing together these heroes, sharing them with the world and teaching us all that there are people in the world with so much strength, perseverance and the ability to truly touch so many people.
