In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr this week, we are featuring the inspiring book Martin and the Mountaintop, written and illustrated by Lake Elsinore poet and playwright Richard D. Gordon. This uplifting book is still in print, and we encourage you to get a copy.

Your heart will carry you through.”
