Ever dream of quitting the rat race to chase your passion?

Meet David Putnam and Yair Lichtenstein, college buddies who ditched promising careers to open a tiny surf shop on the idyllic shores of Aruba. In Little Giant, author Marcia Heath vividly recounts how the two trailblazers defied the odds to transform Bula Surf Shop into a thriving iconic brand…all while keeping their entrepreneurial passion (and friendship) alive.

Masterfully blending memoir, biography, and psychological studies, Marcia reveals how David and Yair’s bold choices ignited her own journey from burnt-out baby boomer to finding her true path as a writer.

Little Giant testifies to the power of relentlessly pursuing your dreams and seeking success on your own terms.
