Think again. Ordinary Heroes of Old Delmarva brings good news from America's days gone by, with 34 inspiring true tales of courage, kindness, and community.
The setting is a national treasure. The Delmarva Peninsula encompasses the Eastern Shores of Maryland and Virginia, along with much of Delaware. It's a landscape thick with history, blessed with Chesapeake beauty, and filled with unique cultural traditions.
