The tradional concept of a hero is charmingly challenged in this delightful & quirky short story. While the 'hero' still has a stereotypical edge to him the notion of searching for, and being, a hero in our everyday-ness is offered in thought provoking, positive, fun and witty prose. Glad this story made the journey from computer screen to publication

Thoroughly enjoyed this uplifting little short story. About an hour read. Just the right length for the doctor's office or kid's soccer practice. Had a nice message about being a better person.

It had a very good underlying message.
