A single act of courage. A ripple of hope that changed a community forever.

When 16-year-old Canaan Bower saw a mother and her children being attacked outside a gas station, he didn’t hesitate. With nothing but his instincts and compassion, he stepped in—and stopped a kidnapping in progress. But what happened next was something even greater: an entire town, and soon the nation, rallied behind his quiet act of heroism.

Based on a true story, Peaceful Warrior is a powerful, heart-wrenching, and ultimately uplifting tribute to the boy who reminded the world what it means to be brave, to love deeply, and to act without hesitation when others are in need.

As a friend of Troy Bower, I can attest that this captures the emotions and feelings of all involved. There may be a few liberties to allow the story to progress, but this is a great retelling of Canaan’s story. I want to be a Canaan.
