That's what guides us": the mama bear vs. the school board -- "I needed to do something that was long lasting": the nurse vs. COVID-19 -- "You help everyone you can": the chef vs. COVID lockdowns -- "If God Puts a Goliath in front of you, there must be a David inside of you": the family vs. the diagnosis -- "I've got all the cards I need right here": the firefighter vs. Congress -- "Do the best with what you've got": the warrior vs. the IED -- "I've been to the abyss: the Green Beret vs. the Taliban -- "Just doing the Job": the weather reporter vs. the storm.
"A collection of David vs. Goliath stories"-- After losing her beloved in-laws in the spring of 2020, Janice faced a storm of grief and confusion. And once she learned that thousands of Covid-infected patients were deliberately sent to nursing homes, she took on the man she believed was responsible: Governor Andrew Cuomo. What at first seemed like a futile fight ended with Cuomo's historic resignation. But it caused Janice to wonder: What fuels someone's resolve to go up against a powerful opponent? And how can ordinary people make the world a better place?
