Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewBill Hemminger has compiled a dozen stories of seeking, finding, experimenting, succeeding, sometimes losing momentum, all leading me to face his opening challenge, to truthfully answer: "Where Do We Come From"? What Are We? Where Are We Going?" . . . He sets the stage for the stories that show how clusters of caring communities are helping to bring positivity to challenges by opening opportunities for those facing small and huge challenges to become part of their own forward momentum.
