Not All Heroes

A heartwarming tale of a young girl finding her place in a new town and learning the true meaning of heroism.
Eleven-year-old Zinnia Helinski feels stuck waiting for her new life to begin, even after her family's cross-country move for a "fresh start" following her little brother's death.
