“A Waffle Can Change the World” is a true story directly inspired by a contagious kindness and love felt first-hand by a father and son ― Gaines Sturdivant II and III ― at their local Waffle House restaurant, #473 in Nashville, Tennessee. Through the lens of the observant six-year-old, readers come to know the enchanting touch of two associates, Terrie and Dawn. Through their example young Gaines comes to understand that individual acts of kindness can truly change the world. My friends inspire me, and they’ll inspire you. Reading this tale may spread the kindness too. Net profits from the sale of the book will benefit the “A Waffle Can Change the World Fund” via The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, which honors associates of Waffle House #473 by supporting non-profit organizations engaged in youth enrichment services and education on a local and national level.
