About the Book

Inexplicable circumstances, a chance meeting, or a kind introduction...

..."It only takes one," one person, one unexpected possibility, one ordinary moment of insight to create one life changing experience.

Who was the one person, who took that moment, offered needed encouragement, or created an opportunity that inspired you in ways never imagined?

Mentors see as you are and awaken the potential for what you could be. They often appear in varied roles: teacher, family member, professional colleague, or friend.

Because You Believed in Me illuminates mentoring with historical examples. These vivid stories recount hopeful perseverance, invigorating collaboration, and the generous sharing of wisdom .

Powerful reminders of the wondrous legacy of these spirited individuals are an invitation to remember such generosity. Because You Believed in Me presents an occasion to reflect and reach out to those who captured your attention and stirred your imagination.
