At first, the plan goes awry, and Trevors project seems valuable only as a lesson on the dark side of human nature. But then something amazing starts to happen: a vast movement of kindness and goodwill spreading beyond Trevors small California town and across the world. Soon a journalist with a story of his own tracks down the source of the epidemic, and makes Trevor a celebrity. Yet Trevor has problems closer to home: he wants his pretty, hardworking mother to see the softer side of his beloved teacher, Reuben St. Clair, a scarred Vietnam veteran who seems to come alive only when hes in front of his class. In the end, Pay It Forward is the story of seemingly ordinary people made extraordinary by the faith of a childa story so powerful it has inspired people around the world to follow its example in their own lives. Anyone who has ever despaired of one persons ability to effect change will rejoice in this novels triumphant message of hope.
