One’s mother was blown out of his arms to her death by a tornado. He was eleven. Another watched as a drunk driver plowed into her entire family, killing them all. She was still in high school. Yet another was set on fire by her mother’s boyfriend. She was six. Their experiences are dramatic, yet it is not what happened to them that makes them extraordinary. It is how they responded to crushing adversity that makes these young people’s stories worth telling. In a culture where the killers of Columbine believed “directors will be fighting over our story,” Class Act tells the inspirational, true stories of eight ordinary young people who faced some of life’s toughest challenges with grace, courage and heart. They never sought the spotlight, but their character has set them apart. Powerful and moving, Class Act will change the way you look at adversity.

Finally A Story About The Good Kids!,
This review is from: Class Act: Eight Young People Who Turned Tragedy into Triumph (Paperback)
8 inspiring stories! All you hear in the media is about the kids who goof things up, what a refreshing change of pace to hear about kids who overcame adversity in their youth and are now flourishing. This should be an Oprah pick!

Class Act by Dorian Leigh Quillen is a must-read. Class Act is a tremendous allegiance to the gut-wrenching stories of eight brave young people who found courage and direction amid incredible odds and were able to move onward and upward. The spirit of survival in each of them is an inspiration to all of us!
