If you’re like most people, you think there are “reasons” why you are the way you are—why you can’t get what you really want no matter how hard you try. But here’s the thing.

As one of the few pediatric palliative care doctors in the United States, Bob Macauley was used to people saying, “I’m so glad I don’t have your job.” To which he would explain that palliative care is more about living than dying, then offer to share some of the inspiring stories he witnessed on a daily basis. He might mention that also being an Episcopal priest helped him console people in the hardest situations. But he never revealed the true reason for his career choice: he didn’t want anyone else to hurt the way he had when he was a kid.

“Webster defines a hero as a mythological or legendary hero of divine descent endowed with great strength or ability. That’s the first definition. There isn’t even an entry for super hero. Not yet. But even if there was one, it would probably be just as bad at informing one about exactly what makes a hero, about the bought lessons and brave daring which are requisites to be one of those individuals rare enough to know both the adoration and fear of the common man."

The book Cowgirls and Dragons explores the lives of people who do these things and who are forced into hiding because of it.
