Let's Roll!: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Courage

Author: Lisa Beamer, Ken Abraham
Published: 2002
Genre: Narrative nonfiction
Rating: 2.5

Summary
A moving, behind-the-scenes story of United Flight 93 hero Todd Beamer as told by his wife Lisa. A message of character, courage, and undeniable faith in the face of horrifying tragedy. This work  encourages anyone who reads it to live "real" life "right now" . . . and to have confidence and hope for the future.

Reivew
This really is about ordinary people, which sometimes didn't make for compelling reading. But their devotion and religious foundation was inspiring. And the actions of ordinary people in an extremely extraordinary situation were an amazing reminder of what a difference just a few people can make.

Notes
I completed reading this on 9/11--which was a good way to personally reflect on the experiences of 11 years ago.
