Description: Americans young and old, rich and poor, in cities and in rural areas, from all faiths and races, come together to volunteer. Voices from the Heart is a tribute to this spirit of giving and the ideal of community. Author Brian O'Connell along with editor Rebecca Buffum Taylor (Sarajevo: Portrait of a Siege) present a moving and inspiring portrait of compassion at work. We meet volunteers from across the country and hear their passionate voices as they speak out about what they do and why. Compelling images by leading photojournalists illustrate each volunteer's work and its rich rewards. Everyone who gives time and effort to help other people or important causes will appreciate this homage to the manifold benefits of volunteering. Voices from the Heart is a not-for-profit joint endeavor by Chronicle Books, Jossey-Bass Publishers, and major national foundations. All profits will go to Independent Sector, a nonprofit group dedicated to America's volunteer organizations.
