I was around ten years old, sleeping in the back seat of my moms car, parked during evenings at the Detroit River. I looked out the window at the stars, as I feared morning until by exhaustion I would fall asleep. I often woke up having wet my pants from my very real and imagined fears. By day, my mom would look for work and wash clothes while I hung out with the old black guys that would spend their day fishing in the Detroit River. I thought I was the only one who grew up in fear, in a world of abuse, until at thirteen I finally met my half-brother at a professional boxing match. He was in sitting next to our dad. Donny looked at me from inside the ring, trying to figure out who I was as the fight announcer was making his formal introductions. All we had shared at this point was the same biological father. Little did we know...

"The heroic quest is about saying 'yes' to yourself and in so doing, becoming more fully alive and more effective in the world. . . . The quest is replete with dangers and pitfalls, but it offers great rewards: the capacity to be successful in the world, knowledge of the mysteries of the human soul, and the opportunity to find and express your unique gifts in the world." In this bold and original work, Carol S. Pearson shows that the heroic quest isn't just for certain people under special circumstances. Exploring the many heroic paths available to each of us, at every point in our lives, her innovative program enables us to live heroically by activating and applying twelve archetypes in our lives. This companion to the bestselling The Hero Within outlines twelve archetypal patterns that can aid inner development and the quest for wholeness. These archetypes are inner guides that can help us prepare for the journey, by learning how to become successful members of society; embark upon the quest, by becoming initiated into the mysteries of the human soul; and return to transform our lives as a result of claiming our uniqueness and personal power. Writing for individuals seeking to realize their full potential and professionals engaged in empowering others, Pearson shows how journeys differ by the age, gender, and cultural background of the seeker, and how archetypes help awaken the capacities of our psyches. A unique diagnostic test, the Heroic Myth Index, and exercise are included to help us understand and awaken our inner guides.

In his grandparents' attic, 12 year-old Ted Rozock finds a pair of riding boots and an army hat, worn in the Spanish-American War. They fit him to a tee and set him on a journey of discovery about his greatgrandfather and the famous man he fought beside in Cuba. Ted immerses himself in the writings of Theodore Roosevelt after a teacher encourages him to present a rip-roaring speech as the Rough Rider for a "History Day" competition. As he gathers a complete "TR" costume and assumes the character he will portray, Ted is inspired to act boldly in his own life and times. His path mirrors that of his hero, who suffered loss and rebounded to greater heights. The seventh grader's string of successes attracts the eyes of beguiling girls and the ire of a whiskered bully. Can Ted meet every modern challenge by staying true to his namesake? Todd Shorack grew up in a globe-trotting Air Force family with deep roots in the state of Oregon. He graduated from the University of Oregon in Eugene and Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. Todd is married, with two sons. He likes to hang out at the intersection of family and history. While cleaning out a grandparent's attic, family members found antique military clothing that fit the author's son and planted the seed for this story.
