An Invisible Thread

subtitled: The true story of an 11-year-old panhandler, a busy sales executive, and an unlikely meeting with destiny

by Laura Schroff and Alex Tresniowski
Hennepin County Library, hardcover, 238 pages
genre: memoir

Maurice and Laura. Child and adult. Black and white. Shockingly poor and extremely sucessful. This is a wonderful narrative of the two people, how they met and mattered to one another, and how their histories shaped their lives. Amazing story. I'm glad I read it. Similar in ways to Same Kind of Different as Me, but basically secular.
