The creation of this book is an attempt to leap in faith and see what happens. There are several stories within this book that provide insights into a typical guy's mind. These insights may help some guys to understand that they are not alone, some women to better understand how difficult it can be to live a typical guy's life, and hopefully anybody to see that it's worth sharing their story. There is a lot of introspection, rethinking masculinity, silliness, and a whole hell of a lot of vulnerability all wrapped up in this short collection of stories and self reflections. Hopefully it touches you in the way that it touched the author.

Noah is a would-be filmmaker who has trouble making friends and understanding people. In Noah Green Saves the World, by Laura Toffler-Corrie, Noah thinks that this summer, the best place for him is the David Lynch Film Camp, to work on his film “opus,” and not his parents’ choice, Camp Challah, to work on his bar mitzvah project. But before camp starts, Noah’s grandfather “Pops” takes him aside, along with Simon, a new arrival but not quite friend, and tells them both “It’s up to you to save the world!” Is Pops just confused, or is he onto something? When a pigeon flies into camp carrying mysterious messages, Noah and Simon wonder if maybe they do really have to save the world. With help from his new friends, Josh, Tyler, environmentalist and upcoming singer-songwriter Mia, and even his popular sister Lily, Noah finds that he can make films, make friends, do his bar mitzvah project, and maybe even save the world after all.
