That's the challenge Regina Brett sets forth in Be the Miracle.To be a miracle doesn't necessarily mean tackling problems across the globe. It means making a difference, believing change is possible, even in your own living room, cubicle, neighborhood, or family.

The lessons come from Regina's life experience and from the lives of others, especially those she has met in her 24 years as a journalist.
