The Smile of Heartsongs

Who can forget the dimpled smile of the young boy who spoke to us of Heartsongs? I cannot. I continue to be a fan of Mattie.

On Tuesday, November 3, Messenger: The Legacy of Mattie J.T. Stepanek and Heartsongs, by Jeni Stepanek (Mattie's mom) with Larry Lindner, will be released. Although Mattie authored several books during his short lifetime, this is the first to actually tell the story of the young peace activist's life. Although his life was marred by muscular dystrophy, the illness did not define Mattie or his life. With a foreword by Maya Angelou, Messenger: The Legacy of Mattie J. T. Stepanek and Heartsongs is a must have for all who admired the simple yet profound eloquence of Mattie's call for peace.
