book-they-stood-alone
While doing her school visits, Humphrey realized how many students had already given up their dreams and no longer had any personal aspirations. She wanted to restore their hopes and their dreams by showing them that one person can indeed make a difference. Each of the 25 men and women in her new book made a unique contribution which changed and shaped the course of history, and they were not afraid to take a risk even when it meant standing alone.
In the words of one reviewer, “This is a book of hope … and a deep belief in the difference that one person can make when an ability, an idea, or a goal is taken to its highest level.”
Humphrey's new book is now available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other major book retailers. She also hosts an inspiring blog called "Dare to Dream Big" with weekly stories featuring real life heroes.
