Summary

Several years ago, Jon Wilson, editor of the acclaimed magazine WoodenBoat, decided he'd had enough of the constant barrage of violence and misery in the media. His answer was the magazine Hope, dedicated to stories by and about those uncelebrated people who work to improve themselves, their communities, and the world, elevating and illuminating the best of humanity.
