Small Acts of Heroism

The Italian Navy and non-government ships rescued thousands of migrants, most from Eritera, on Monday. Canadians have opened their doors and their hearts to Canadian migrants. My husband, a doctor, treats his patients with loving kindness, whether they have money-or not. A woman fell at a local pool I go to,and so many came to her aide. Every day there are large (and small) acts of heroism, where people extend open arms, open hearts. My writing is about all those acts of heroism, in the hopes that my words, in some way, will also present themselves as acts of kindness. WHY NO BHINE, my next YA novel, is about exactly that-saving a young boy, or rather-how he saves himself with the help of a larger world.
