This story was a great find and is still one of our best performing episodes. Henry Lawson's "Brighten's Sister-In-Law" is a poignant narrative, a classic example of the Australian bush ballad. The story recounts a drover's desperate race against time to save his ailing son, Harry, and the unexpected salvation he finds in a woman society has cast aside.

FALL FAMILY SPECIAL: THE LAST LEAF by O.HENRY

New York City in Greenwich Village around 1910 was a haven for aspiring artists and anyone looking for work in a growing new city. Sue and Johnsy were two young female artists living on hope and not much else. When Johnsy got sick Sue was told by the doctor that Johnsy didn't have long to live- but Sue never gave up- as far as she was concerned they were family. Its a "masterpiece" from O.Henry!

A FEW EXAMPLES: AT 1001 HEROES WE BRING NEW EPISODS EVERY Sunday at noon eastern and a 'best of "listener favorite every Thursday night at 9PM ET- MOST OF THESE Best ofs after Halloween will also carry similar themes that unite with these topics. I'll tag them as Fall Family and Honor Themed Beginning this last week of October and lasting through the holidays, we are offering a number of interview-base shows dealing with subjectS that go straight to the heart starting with "LIVE, LAUGH, AND FIND TRUE LOVE: A STEP BYSTEP GUIDE TO BUILDING NEW RELATIONSHIPS- OUR EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR AND LONG TIME L.A. DIVORCE ATTORNEY SARAH INTELLIGATOR- She is empowering, inspirational and packed with powerful tools to help you, male or female, to a healthy, fun and fulfilling relationship- whether youre on the brink of a marriage or just starting out or hoping to find a lasting love- don't miss this interview and book!

This book is a True Crime page turner with a powerful Family theme… On Sunday Nov 9th Retired Police Sgt Bert "Maverick" Gonzalez reminds us why families of those who are constantly working in service to others in police, military, and rescue throughout the holidays are sacrificing so much to keep the peace-- in his new book The Real Greatest Show on Earth- all lessons learned and stories told gathered from his 40 years of service in Florida's Miami Dade county- it's a well told story that bridges the gap between crime scenes and calm and in a family sense, because it shows the important link between mental health and community engagement is just as important as tactics

After a skirmish a Civil War cavalry Captain enters a house thinking it might be housing enemy and finds a scared young lady holding a gun behind her back. The Captain, after investigating the house to find two other family occupants, finds himself drawn to the girl but struglles to find a way to tell her.

A young man heading for college in Boston decides to catch a nap in a cozy little glen not far from the stage stop. While sleeping soundly he is silently approached by three different entities- the first promises wealth, the second promises love, and the third robbery and possible death. A great lesson on how life (and sometimes tragedy) passes us by when we're not watching closely.

Our two best friends continue to write back and forth until John (Jack) Fleming's leg heals enough to travel, which he does, taking the train to new Hampshire to meet the girl of his dreams, depite Edward's best efforts to prevent him from coming.

Two close pals exchange letters, one having had to cancel his trip to a summer spot in New Hampshire with his friend due to a broken leg. In the letters the pal in New Hampshire begins to write of the presence of a beautiful young lady named Marjorie Daw, who is living there at "Tyhe Pines" in a house with her father. Our brone-legged friend, withering away in New York City, takes an instant interest in the young lady and begs for more letters and more story on her.

Pt 2 coming soon-Dont miss it!
