Superlative bravery, humble heroism, selfless dedication: these are just some of the qualities that informed the actions of the men featured in this collection. These heroes did not hesitate to put themselves in the line of fire - from high-speed car chases down busy city streets to perilous rescues in flame-engulfed houses to protect the mothers, sisters, grandfathers, classmates, and neighbours in our communities from harm. For this, they are rarely thanked. This book highlights their achievements in appreciation
About the Author
When she was six years old, DOROTHY PEDERSEN obtained a copy of Charlotte's Web from the Clydebank Public Library, in Clydebank, Scotland. By the time she was finished the book she knew she wanted to be a writer. She came to Canada in 1964 where, alas, school teachers discouraged her from pursuing writing as a career. Dorothy enjoys designing and creating handknits and crocheted garments, and is an animal rights supporter, and boxing fan.
