An Invisible Thread

A best-selling New York Times book, this story chronicles the life-changing friendship between a busy sales executive and a disadvantaged young boy in the 1980s. Throughout the years, both their lives were changed by the small act of kindness that started it all. The book is told from the perspective of the woman who first showed compassion to a boy on the street, and also from the perspective of that boy as an adult recalling his memories of kindness.
