The Choir of Evergreens Who wants to be a hero? Ever since living in an orphanage, Theo dreams about being a hero. His entire life is devoted to this goal. He cherishes his dream even while he lives with a group of homeless in a hobo encampment in Riverview City Park. When he comes in conflict with Millie and Tess, does he foresee them as his support team for developing heroism? They befriend him as another mere hobo until they unearth a secret that changes three lives within a cathedral of pines. A mystery lies buried in Graceland cemetery. The solution to that mystery wrenches family feelings. Millie and Tess accept him and love him. They want Theo as a member of their family. He needs them. They befriend his homeless group of twelve and treat them as their extended family. Their lives change and follow a route that creates major adjustments for all of them. Heroism demands sacrifice and action. Dreamers are forever left behind. Millie and Tess discover that planning and action can awaken heroism, move mountains and build villages.
