The smallest action can change a life. I already knew about Ms. Lopez from HONY back in 2015. I knew she had put in years of hard work and she was at her breaking point. I knew she had change hundreds of lives for the better.

What I didn't know were the stories of Jessica. Of Malik. Of Antonne. Of taking the kids on a walk through Vassar profoundly effected them. How some of the children can't even go to the library for fear of getting shot.

Needless to say, if you are feeling sorry for yourself about school, are looking for some inspiration, or want to know how you can Help the world? This is a damn good place to start.


My only issue with the book was how it was written. I felt like it could have been organized better, but it didn't deter me from devouring this book.
