All Kinds of Courage

Retired US Army veteran and patriot Ben Olson moves back to his hometown of Litton, Minnesota, where he finds himself living next door to sweet and kind Josie Martin. Josie is a strong, self-confident young woman, recently back from Senegal, where she spent ten years in the Peace Corps. Sharing a love of 1970s music, chocolate desserts, and a mischievous German shepherd, the two become friends.

Unfortunately, bad tempers and a philosophical difference of opinion tear the friends apart. Each of them must take a journey toward the truth while confronting their fears. Along the way, they discover all kinds of courage and rediscover the joy that only true love reveals.

Lisa hails from a patriotic family. Her father and older brother proudly served in the United States Army, and her husband is a Navy veteran. As a special needs teacher, Lisa many times encountered people whose bravery in the face of daily challenges went unheralded but never unnoticed.

Facing current circumstances or limitations places many at an immediate disadvantage, and we have no other choice but to be brave. Other times, our choices place us squarely in the dilemma of fight or flight. Either way, without resources or guidance, it's a monumental task to be brave.

Lisa is proud of every person who, through their individual tests of courage, gets on with living their life to the fullest.
