INTRODUCTION
"Where is the hope?  I meet millions who tell me that they feel demoralized by the decay around us.

"Death.  Destruction.  Disease.  Prejudice.  Hatred.  Fear.  Loss.  Hopelessness.  Tragedy.  Pain.  Anger.  War.  Everyday, we face these elements in the daily news, in the world around us, in our country, in our state, in our city, and all too often, in our own homes.  

"Where is the hope?  The hope that each of us has is not in who governs us, what laws are passed, or in what great things we do as a nation."

Indeed, in our 200-plus years as 'the great nation,'  all of our efforts have done little to eliminate, or even reduce, the darkness that stretches itself out across the land.

Brother fights brother.  Daughter fights mother.  Son turns against father.  How can we hope to impact the world for good, when we cannot win the battles at home?

Do we need another hero?  Perhaps.  History has given us several to chose from.  Writers have given us many more.  We certainly do not suffer from a lack of heroes and role models to look up to.

Many say we need a hero... and many are seeking.  Movies featuring heroes continue to break sales records.  While books giving us more examples, and even teaching us how to be heroes ourselves, are on the increase.  Maybe we need another hero... but, just maybe, we've been looking in the wrong places.

Fast forward 20 years from today.  Enter Tammy Saiko Tanaka.  At 18 years of age, she's had more skeletons in her closet than most.  The foundation of her home life began falling apart many years ago.  To escape, Tammy hangs at parties and takes drugs we have not even heard of yet.  Her heart, and spirit, are very dark and heavy, as she struggles  to pull through each day.  The darkness in her life continues to take from her.

And she's about to lose what little she has left.  Some would say that Tammy needs a hero.

Can one really make a difference?  Perhaps.  Perhaps not.  Tammy is about to find out.
