An Invisible Thread

by Laura Schroff and Alex Tresniowski


An Invisible Thread tells of the life-long friendship between a busy sales executive and a disadvantaged young boy, and how both of their lives were changed by what began as one small gesture of kindness.
Stopping was never part of the plan...

She was a successful ad sales rep in Manhattan. He was a homeless, eleven-year-old panhandler on the street. He asked for spare change; she kept walking. But then something stopped her in her tracks, and she went back. And she continued to go back, again and again. They met up nearly every week for years and built an unexpected, life-changing friendship that has today spanned almost three decades...
This month's selection is a memoir of an unusual relationship and a life-long friendship. Join the discussion online by commenting below, or come to the book club meeting at the library if you can!
