With insight and inspiration, author Sylvia L. Lovely provides a compelling narrative about everyday heroes, or as she calls them, Community Patriots - people who recognize the new rules of democracy in the 21st century, who are courageously stepping up to change the status quo, who are taking the bold strides and small steps that are both necessary for community building today.

 

As president of the NewCities Institute and Executive Director/CEO of the Kentucky League of Cities, Sylvia has made her passion for city building her life's work.

 

In "The Little Red Book of Everyday Heroes" she tells us how ordinary folks just like you and me, are putting their ideas to work in their own hometowns.  Sharing a spirit of purpose and sending a call for commitment to action, Lovely says, "We as citizens can see the possible for the places we love."

 

"We can become the everyday heroes, the Community Patriots, who make it happen."
