Ozark Mosaic

About the Book

As Northwest Arkansas entered the 21st Century, it found itself facing the same spiritual and political struggles that many other American cities faced. Here are the stories of people who were determined to make their communities better than they were. It is a book that tells the story of great triumphs, and bravery in the face of overwhelming odds. Even in defeat, the men and women in these pages found spiritual solidarity. Ozark Mosaic is the perfect antidote for those who feel that people no longer are the masters of their own destinies.
