520 "From the #1 New York Times and international bestselling
authors of An Invisible Thread comes a heartwarming and
inspiring book about the incredible impact that acts of
kindness from strangers can have on the world around us.
One day in 1986, Laura Schroff, a busy ad sales executive,
passed an eleven-year-old boy panhandling on the street.
She stopped and offered to take him to McDonald's for
lunch. Twenty years later, at Laura's fiftieth birthday
party, Maurice Mazyck gave a toast, thanking Laura for her
act of kindness, which ended up changing the course of his
life. In that toast, Maurice said that when Laura stopped
on that busy street corner all those years ago, God had
sent him an angel. Laura's invisible thread journey has
deepened her belief that angels--divine and otherwise--are
all around us. After An Invisible Thread was published in
2011, readers from around the country and world began
sharing with Laura their own stories about how chance
encounters with strangers have changed their lives. From a
woman who saved a life simply by buying someone a book, to
a financier who gave a stranger the greatest gift of all,
to a teacher who chose a hug over discipline and changed a
lost boy's future--Angels on Earth will introduce a series
of remarkable people whose invisible thread stories will
move, surprise, and inspire readers. Angels on Earth sheds
light on how each of us can live happier, more purposeful
lives through sharing acts of kindness"--|cProvided by
