An Invisible Thread by Laura Schroff, A Book Review by Rebecca Moll

Chance encounters. Unexpected detours. Opportunities. Invisible threads. Every second of every day.

It's not if, but when. And then, what. What to you do when faced with a new road, a new encounter, especially when risk and reward are not necessarily in your favor?

Laura Schroff almost walked away. But then, she stopped and turned around.

Laura & Maurice. Two strangers in New York City. A well to-do professional and a poor little boy asking for money. A chance encounter. One never fathomed, never believed possible.

A story of compassion, love and hope. No fairy tale, there are ups and downs, heartbreak for both, and in the end and understanding that it is the invisible threads that bind us that lead us to grace.

For at both ends of the thread there must be a knot. A tethering. A promise and the commitment to keep that promise.

A lovely story that has inspired many. I would like to think I would have stopped, but how many times have I kept on walking?

Every second. Every day. Chance encounters. Invisible threads. Amazing possibilities. All we can do is stop, feel the threads and tie the knot.
