About the book:
"Being the Difference: True Stories of Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things to Change the World", a new book by Darius Graham, reveals the stories of more than a dozen individuals that have gone beyond making a difference and, instead, have become the difference. Some of them overcame significant hardships and now help others facing similar challenges, while others in the book got so frustrated with a problem in their community that they just had to do something about it. Through each profile, the book conveys the message that anyone can make a difference by using his or her own experiences and passion to help others, which is the author's definition of being the difference. Engaging and uplifting, Being the Difference enables readers to see that no matter where they are in life or how little they have, there is always something that can be done to make the world a better place.
