“The true magic of life lies in it linkages—relationships between people which have the power to change the world. The authors have captured many of these wonderful stories of mentorship, proving that greatness most often happens not by chance but by the thoughtful caring of one person for another.”

“An uplifting and beautifully written exploration of the influence of mentoring on individual lives and on the history of humankind.”

It only takes one—one person, one unexpected possibility, one ordinary moment of insight to create a life-changing experience. Who was the one person who took that moment and offered needed encouragement or created an opportunity that inspired you in ways never imagined?
Mentors see you as you are and awaken the potential for what you could be. They often appear in varied roles: teachers, family members, professional colleagues, or friends. Because You Believed in Me illuminates mentoring with historical examples. These vivid stories recount hopeful perseverance, invigorating collaboration, and the generous sharing of wisdom.
Marcia McMullen, inspired by outstanding mentors, combined her research and teaching experience to design and implement a one-to-one mentoring program for youth, for which she has served as executive director.
Patricia Miller entered the mentoring field several years ago, bringing her expertise in strategic program planning and organizational management. She is a fellow of the Midwest Center for Nonprofit Leadership at the University of Missouri at Kansas City.
