Ties That Bind: Stories of Love and Gratitude from the First Ten Years of StoryCorps by Dave Isay
4.0
Short, fast read, but not without significant substance.
Although these are condensed excerpts of longer interviews, they offer a glimpse into the non-celebrity, everyday lives of of human beings, each with a story and a relationship to share, celebrate and sometimes mourn.
There is something for nearly everyone in these vignettes. StoryCorps, celebrating ten years, is well represented by this publication. I appreciated the author's introduction and reflection on the meager beginnings of StoryCorps and in the last part of the book the references to questions and offshoots that have developed in a mere ten years.
Kudos to all who were bold enough to share these moments with the larger world.
