Description

Legacy. It's what we leave behind. It's what we pass on to others. Meet Bonnie Carroll, the real-life inspiration behind the film The Big Miracle. After losing her husband in a military air crash, Bonnie created an organization that has helped thousands of veterans' families traumatized by death and injury. Meet Kevin Saunders who, against all odds, survived one of the most devastating industrial explosions in American history. Catastrophically injured, he fought his way back, becoming a world recognized para-Olympic athlete and motivational speaker. See how Father Joe Carroll, a Catholic priest, dramatically improved the lives of countless homeless men, women, and children by creating the nation's most innovative facilities to rehabilitate, educate, and restore the lives of those in need. Get to know Jacquelyn Mitchard, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of more than 20 books and films, who has also touched lives by creating safe and creative environments for abused women. Learn about Sandy Heverly, whose entire family was killed or injured by a drunk driver punished only with a $100 fine. Read of her tireless crusade that changed the laws and the lives of thousands of victims.
