Every Life's Worth Saving

By Gail Timberlake and Dot Samuel

One person in a world of billions can make a difference. This is a true account of how the actions of one young boy scout changed the course of one event. While a grandmother is supervising her small grandchildren on the banks of the James River during the Batteau Festival, she reflects on a time of impending disaster from the past. Her grandchildren prompt her to recognize the power of one--yesterday, today and even tomorrow.
