good story but poorly written. often seemed disjointed. the timeline was a little confusing. The sections dealing with Maurice's life were not easy to believe because being told from Laura's point of view there was no authority established as to the fact. I am certain that it was all true and probably more difficult for Maurice than what was shown but wish that it had been written from Maurice's point of view. If he had been more directly involved in the writing then maybe that would have been smoother transitions. My favorite part of the entire book was Maurice's letter to Laura in the Epilogue. Love is so powerful. I am glad that this example of the saving grace of love is out there.

Another book that I wond from GoodReads firstreads giveaways!
An Invisible Thread tells the true, heart-warming tale of a publishing ad exec who strikes up an unlikely friendship with an 11-year old boy panhandling on the streets of Manhattan. Laura Schroff becomes a guardian angel and mother figure in Maurice's difficult life. Maurice lives amongst drug dealers and addicts and up until he goes to dinner at Hard Rock Cafe with Laura had never before had anyone show him how to cut up his food with a fork and knife. Not quite the sort of childhood most of us experienced...
The book blends Laura's telling of her time with Maurice along with flashbacks to her own childhood and early adult life.
I am not usually one for feed-good books but I enjoyed this little book and it was a pretty quick read. It did make me well up at a few points, which can sometimes feel a little awkward when you are reading on the subway. ;)

I’ve got mixed feelings on the book. Started as a beautiful story and friendship. Then it got too comparative and to me lost sight of the main theme but good on the author for writing what she felt. To then semi enjoying the ending. Wished we got to hear more from Maurice
