A teenage girl, by reaching out to one of her classmates ostracized because of her unpleasant appearance, changed the lives of her entire family. From misery and despair came hope and promise. In addition, that intervention produced a ripple effect resulting in tremendous positive changes in the lives of many others in the community. Based on Christian principles and interspersed with humor, An Act of Compassion is an inspiring and enjoyable read for anyone from teenage and beyond.
