First, the giveaway. Thanks so much to everybody for the answers, and Robyn, Rene, and Lis, please e-mail me your choice of the book.

Second, let me spread the sunshine. My granny is back at home, hip seems to be healing fine, and though it's strange to know she's in a wheelchair, she's very optimistic. Honestly, she never complains, and it doesn't stop to amaze me. She accepts everything with such graciousness that I hope to be like her when I grow up - I mean when I'm that age.

Now, about another oldest member of my family whom I'll admire forever. My grandpa (maternal side). In WWII, he was captured by the Nazis, but he managed to survive and come back to my grandma. They've been married for more than 50 years, literally until death did them apart. And that is love, folks. That is love. I admire him not only because he manages to survive, and therefore, a victor in my eyes. And not only for the selfish reason that has he not, has he given up, I wouldn't have existed. I admire him because he's lived his life with such quiet dignity that few people can. He's my hero.

Writingwise, heros are partly why we read and write romance. So from books and/or real life, bodywise, characterwise, lifestylewise, who's your hero?

Thanks sweetie :) Wow, good question. I'm not really sure. Have to think a little more.

You're totally welcome, Lis!

My heroes are all the people who do the things that are right rather than what's easy or best for them. Whether the decisions are small or gargantuan, these people deserve to be recognized.

And I'm glad to hear that your granny is doing well!

Thank you for the win and congrats to the others.

Anonymous is me, LOL. I forgot some pertinent info when commenting.

Meretta, that was an awesome description! I'll need to remember that!

what addy do we use to e-mail you Olga?

A hero to me is someone who, when the chips are down, comes through. Period. Whether doing taxes or fighting a fire, or serving in the military, those men who can aim and accomplish have my vote.

Marty, great description. "The one who comes through." I'll try to remember for my next WIP! And thanks for visiting!

I think it has to be my mom. She has had it tough with me as a single mom and she did what she could. She's still single and has always taken care of herself without someone to lean on. She's a tough cookie!

Kelly, wow, I loved that! It's amazing what a mother can do, and here to strong and caring women!

Actually one of my favourite heroes is from the movie The Lady Vanishes - the Michael Redgrave character. He and the heroine didn't hit it off, but when she claims that "the lady has vanished" he is the only one who believes her (and she turns out to be right)

Claire, the movie sounds awesome! I feel like I've got to see it!
