John Quinones
Our Patricia Lopez recently met up with ABC News Journalist and Author John Quinones during a visit to L.A. while promoting his new book, "What Would You Do?: Doing the Right Thing Even When You Think No One's Watching."

John's new book also celebrates the ABC show's "What Would You Do?" tenth anniversary!
