An Invisible Thread The True Story of an 11YearOld Panhandler a Busy Sales Executive and an Unlikely Meeting with Destiny edition by Laura Schroff Alex Tresniowski Valerie Salembier Religion Spirituality eBooks

I must disclose that I don't usually like Best Sellers, and my pattern is holding true. There are parts to like about this book - I think the descriptions of the welfare hotel and the lives led in such places is actually important reading. For that alone, this book does an important job. I felt at times we were wallowing in people's "goodness" - and their reward is a best selling novel and the money and fame that goes with it. However, I don't really think that was the writers intent. I would probably suggest (like another reviewer did) that if you want to read the book - borrow it from the library. It is a quick and easy read. Take the money you would have spent on it, and do something nice for someone - like buy an elderly neighbor a cup of coffee and have a chat, or give the money to a local food bank.

An Invisible Thread The True Story of an 11YearOld Panhandler a Busy Sales Executive and an Unlikely Meeting with Destiny edition by Laura Schroff Alex Tresniowski Valerie Salembier Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews

Read this in 3 days, I was so engrossed. Could've read it in one without interruptions because I was so intrigued. I live in the rural West and have not known too much the lifestyle of drug addicts and homeless people.
The thing wasn't reading about that, however; it was the true story about how much we all can learn from experiencing the pure and innocent love of a child. Being the mother of four children myself, this book has taught me much and given me ideas of things I want to do better, and helped me appreciate what I have.
I like to be very honest with my reviews, so i will go in detail for why i am giving this book only three stars, even though the story is for sure soul warming.

Laura Schroff may be an amazing human being, but when reading this book there was too much emphasis in situations that are meant to create an emotional response in the reader. It was so much that It gets to the point that everything seems dramatic and exaggerated. Instead of moved i felt annoyed. I even doubted the story was true until i saw the photos in the back and recognized that smile she describes so often in Maurice.

I wish i could give it five stars but my rating is over the writing material instead of the fascinating story Laura and Maurice shared.

Back to the review .... many of the “characters” are very inconsistent and change through the book without any real development. I believe they would be properly explained if the author had written a more extensive book. For example, at some point the author mentions “his grandmother was the rock in their crazy family” but before in the story she is shown as a woman who seems to care little about anything. Same thing happens with more characters. Again, maybe a longer book.
Also At times it feels like a mere narrative.
Overall hard to connect emotionally with the writing.
This book really walks you through the other person's life. Unless you've been exposed to this kind of a lifestyle you have no idea what these kids might go through or what their everyday life looks like. You can really get a good Glimpse and appreciate the everyday life style of people who have just basic needs met, food, clothing, lodging and parents that that do this for them. It's hard to Fathom a world out there of kids that don't have people that take care of these basic needs, but there is a lot. If you work in the education system or in the social system you will understand this and you will understand this book but even then you still can't even imagine what these kids go through everyday.
Thanks for the memior.
The book an Invisible Thread was written by Laura Schroff. This novel is a New York Times bestseller and tells the true story of a long-lasting friendship. Schroff formerly worked with many companies like USA Today, and People Magazine and grew up in Long Island, New York and currently lives in Westchester NY.

Laura Schroff was walking through the busy streets of Manhattan when she passed Maurice. He was begging for money and she decided to take him to lunch at Mcdonalds. This was the start of a long friendship that would change both of their lives and make them better people. Maurice hides the true terrors of his world, including his drug addicted family and his dangerous home life. Schroff continues to support him for years becoming almost a second mother to him. They manage to keep their friendship strong even though they come from two different worlds.

A running theme throughout the book is that no one never knows how you will affect someone's life and how someone's influence can change the future. By writing this book, she shows that an upbringing doesn’t have to define someone as a person. Schroff"s influence on Maurice helped him understand that he didn’t have to turn out like the rest of his family by going not going into the drug business.

I enjoyed this book because it was very honest and gives an insight on poorer communities of NY. The book was happy for the most part and a good read. I like how throughout the book you can see Maurice and Schroff progress into different people. Despite the good qualities of the book, a flaw would be that she talks too much about herself. She should have tried to show both perspectives more.

I would recommend this nonfiction novel to teens and young adults. It provides insight of those less fortunate and what their lives can entail. I would not recommend this book to someone with a problem with the topics of physical abuse and drug abuse.
Incredibly moving. The novel goes so much deeper than just the relationship that developed between Laura and Maurice - this is about their own individual journeys - and despite coming from different means - had so many similarities. Life can be hard - at the end of the day we all come with baggage - and while painful the journey of life is how to overcome this (whatever parts that we can). Finding a way to forgive those around you who may have done wrong brings a great deal of peace as well. Having grown up with an emotionally abusive parent - and having to come to terms with that / forge an adult relationship and carry on - this hits home in so many ways. Regardless of your baggage - you will get something incredibly positive from this read.
