HEROS OF HEARTLAND: JACOB, VICTOR AND THE JOURNEY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE *PRE-ORDER*

A story about courage, friendship, and the power of standing up.
At Heartland Jr. High, Jacob is the new kid who refuses to stay quiet when he sees injustice. When he befriends Victor, a confident blind student, and Malachi, a homeless boy bullied for his appearance, the three form an unlikely bond that challenges everything their school knows about popularity and power.

Chris, the school's biggest bully, seems to have it all—new clothes, flashy jewelry, and a crew that follows his every move. But beneath the surface, Chris is hiding a painful secret: an abusive home life that's taught him to measure his worth by what he wears and who he controls.

As Jacob stands up to Chris, he doesn't just defend Malachi—he starts to see that the bully needs help too. When Jacob and Victor's families rally their community to support Malachi's struggling grandmother, Chris witnesses something he's never experienced: real love, real friendship, and real community.
Heroes of Heartland is a story about:

- Standing up to bullying without becoming a bully yourself

-True friendship that doesn't judge people by appearance or circumstances

-Forgiveness and redemption—even for those who've caused pain
