January 15, 2024 Book Club Meeting

Please join us on Monday, January 15 at 5:30 in the Parish House for our next Book Club and Potluck. We will be discussing An Invisible Thread by Laura Schroff and Alex Tresniowski. Bring a dish to share and the beverage of your choice. 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. Whatever made me notice him on that street corner so many years ago is clearly something that cannot be extinguished, no matter how relentless the forces aligned against it. Some may call it spirit. Some may call it heart. It drew me to him, as if we were bound by some invisible, unbreakable thread. And whatever it is, it binds us still.​ Now with new material that brings the life-changing story up to date for its tenth anniversary, An Invisible Thread is “a book capable of restoring our faith in each other and in the very idea that maybe everything is going to be okay after all” (Catherine Ryan Hyde, author of Pay It Forward). All are welcome. Please contact Gail Harling, gailharling@gmail.com with any questions.
