Description
When Samuel Johnson unicycled around Australia, he met some awesome people. Before we had to lock down, he and his other sister, Hilde, were travelling the country, speaking at schools, community groups and at the side of busy streets to spread their message about how to kick cancer in the face hole.
In the process, they connected and listened as people shared their own stories—not just about how cancer impacted them, but about love, fighting fires, making families out of choice, not blood, knitting, being there, and being surprised by life. They discovered solace from strangers and decided those stories should be shared, leading to the creation of Heroes Next Door.
The result is a moving, funny, irreverent, inspiring, and big-hearted book that shows us all that resilience and kindness make the difference. It reminds us that you don't have to travel far to find good people; often, they are right next door.

About the Author
Samuel Johnson (Author)
Samuel Johnson OAM is a much-loved Australian actor, best known for his work on THE SECRET LIFE OF US, CRACKERJACK, UNDERBELLY: A TALE OF TWO CITIES, RUSH and as the star of the hit biopic MOLLY. In recent times he is more proud of his work as a breast cancer advocate and determined unicyclist. He won a Gold Logie in 2017 for his work on MOLLY and was named the 2018 Victorian of the Year for his charity work to vanquish cancer. So far the charity he set up with his sister Connie, Love Your Sister, has raised over $15M. Samuel is a bestselling author, with his and Connie's book LOVE YOUR SISTER and his endearing DEAR SANTA both hitting the bestseller lists and both shortlisted for an ABIA award. His winning stint on DANCING WITH THE STARS reminded all of Australia how much we love Samuel Johnson. Samuel continues to dedicate most of his time to the charity and doing what he can to raise funds for cancer research. The DEAR series is part of that fundraising.Hilde Hinton (Author) Hilde Hinton avoided being a writer for many years. But after her critically acclaimed debut novel, The Loudness of Unsaid Things, made a number of bestseller lists, everything changed. Now the stories won't stop. Hilde, dedicated big sister to Connie and Samuel Johnson, lives in a boisterous house in Melbourne with a revolving door for the temporarily defeated and takes great pride in people leaving slightly better than when they arrived. Her children are mostly loved. And so are her books.Also by Hilde Hinton
