A simple bike ride changed their lives! It was a bike ride
that forever changed Captain Marshall Allen's life. Seven
years later, a very similar bike ride would do the same for
magazine editor Alexandra Allred. While many believed it was
destiny that Alex would take a bike route that would lead
her to tell Marshall's extraordinary story, it soon became
clear that Marshall was also meant to help Alex. Marshall
was a pioneer in the fire department, becoming the first
black fire fighter in Salt Lake County. Alex was a pioneer
in the sports world, becoming the first U.S. women's bobsled
champion. But where Marshall was from very humble
beginnings, once abused in the foster care system, Alex was
the daughter of a U.S. Diplomat. They were worlds apart.
Neither had any idea how much trouble was brewing ... This
is the story of an unlikely friendship between a
quadriplegic fire fighter and a former national athlete
turned writer and how they changed local and national
policies, took on the good 'ol boy network and the "Big
Boys" at the US Capitol. Walking on Faith: What a Difference
A Decade Makes is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud book that
chronicles the last ten years of their lives, their faith
(or once lack thereof) and their own personal fires. If you
believe in miracles, if you believe you can fight city hall,
if you believe in overcoming insurmountable obstacles, this
is the book for you! Prepare to be inspired by the
indomitable spirit of both Captain Marshall Allen and his
friend Alexandra Allred.
