At GivesMeHope.com, visitors are invited to submit real-life stories that can be read in 11 seconds and yet answer the life-changing question, "What gives you hope?" As diverse and touching as the human experience itself, the stories feature instances of random acts of kindness, amazing friends, cute kids, and true love — in short, life's magical moments. Brought together in this book and illustrated with inspired artwork are the very best of these 11 second gems.
