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. ;)
