The best selling author of political fiction and host of “Brad Meltzer’s Decoded” has published a follow-up to his inspirational book Heroes for My Son.

Heroes for My Daughters profiles dozens of women and men, famous and not-so famous who Meltzer hopes his daughter will emulate.

Brad profiles people like Rosa Parks, Christopher Reeve and Lucille Ball, celebrities whose stories obviously merit inclusion in the book.

But there are also more obscure people included in the book, people like Brad’s eighth grade English teacher, who may not have been famous, but nonetheless fits the hero profile.
