An Invisible Thread: The True Story of an 11-Year-Old Panhandler, a Busy Sales Executive, and an Unlikely Meeting with Destiny
by Alex Tresniowski, Laura Schroff
3 1/2 stars.
This one was a book club read for me. I wouldn't have picked this up on my own.It's a good, heartwarming story with an exposure of the deplorable conditions that can and do exist for children living surrounded by poverty and drug culture.
The relationship between Laura and Maurice is encouraging, but also a bit uncomfortable. The inclusion of Laura's own family history detracts from the story a bit, but is clearly included because Laura felt it could show how she could identify and connect with some of Maurice's situations.
I have a lot of conflicting feelings about this one, but I am glad that I read it. I would very much like to hear the story from Maurice's perspective and in his own voice.
