Abstract
Kiwi Tucker for the soul is a feel-good book that unashamedly celebrates the outstanding spirit of New Zealanders from all walks of life. A New Zealand classic. It is an inspiring collection of stories about the lives of some of New Zealand's most genuine people. Although widely different, their stories are bound together because they overcame different challenges in their quest to attain a goal or to realise their dreams. They take responsibility for their lives and share common values of integrity, honour, courage, a sense of duty, love of family and friends and self-reliance.
