Lisa Malooly’s Second Edition Honors Traditions, Untangles History, and Challenges Citizens to Reclaim Civic Pride

SCOTTSDALE, AZ, UNITED STATES, April 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Award-winning educator and third-generation Texan Lisa Malooly unveils the second edition of her thought-provoking and heartwarming book, For You, My Hero—a vivid, witty, and deeply personal exploration of American values, culture, and history, uniquely framed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

In an age of political polarization and cultural fatigue, Malooly reminds readers that patriotism isn’t just about flag-waving—it’s about understanding where we came from, honoring those who sacrificed for freedom, and rediscovering the threads that unite us. Structured around each phrase of the Pledge, the book journeys through centuries of American ideals, told with humor, humility, and piercing insight.

“As a teacher, I saw firsthand how disconnected students were from their own country’s story,” Malooly says. “This book was born from those conversations—a way to laugh, reflect, and grow into more grateful citizens.”

From misunderstood lyrics in the national anthem to the legacy of “Donut Dollies,” from reflections on civic responsibility to heartfelt commentary on immigration and dual identity, For You, My Hero mixes personal narrative with bite-sized historical gems. The second edition also features updated anecdotes, expanded cultural reflections, and book club discussion prompts.

You are invited to write a message to your hero and give them the book as a gift. For You, My Hero is more than a read; it’s a tribute, a thank-you, and a bridge across generations.

A portion of royalties from the book will benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

For You, My Hero is now available in Kindle, Paperback, and Hardcover formats through Amazon and major retailers.
