I Am the Storm

The New York Times bestselling author of Mostly Sunny and Make Your Own Sunshine champions courageous underdogs who have defied the odds to fight for justice and truth. It's easy to do the right thing when it costs us nothing. But what would you do when facing an international organization wielding vast amounts of money and resources? What about when you're just one person in a war zone? In I Am the Storm, Janice Dean tells the story of courageous whistleblowers and revolutionaries, underdogs and ordinary people who chose to fight for what's right rather than take the easy path of doing nothing. She shines on spotlight of heroes like Scott Mann, who headed Task Force Pineapple, a group of U.S. veterans who smuggled 1,000 refugees during the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Andrea Orris, a gymnast determined to change an abusive culture that defined her sport. The true stories in I Am the Storm demonstrate that when we feel powerless, one person taking a stand really can change things for the better. In this collection of uplifting and remarkable stories, Janice reminds us that good people exist and that they can truly make a difference.
