In describing the remarkable life journeys of these two vagabonds, this book offers a stimulating challenge: To inspire ordinary people to set goals and accomplish extraordinary things -- to make the world a better place, especially for the underprivileged. The book offers readers a first-hand, very personal look at the philosophy, experiences, education and influences that enabled the Hessers to accomplish all they did and raise a family at the same time. The book is part storybook romance, part how-to manual and part good old American initiative and can-do success story, all told within the very real, very dramatic, very touching life journeys of Leon and Florence Hesser.
