From New York Times bestselling authors Laura Schroff and Alex Tresniowski comes the young listeners' edition of an unbelievable memoir about an unlikely friendship that forever changed the lives of a busy sales executive and a hungry eleven-year-old boy.
On one rainy afternoon, on a crowded New York City street corner, eleven-year-old Maurice met Laura. Maurice asked Laura for spare change because he was hungry, and something made Laura stop and ask Maurice if she could take him to lunch.
Maurice and Laura went to lunch together, and also bought ice cream cones and played video games. It was the beginning of an unlikely and magical friendship that changed both of their lives forever.
An Invisible Thread is the true story of the bond between an eleven-year-old boy and a busy sales executive; a heartwarming journey of hope, kindness, adventure, and love—and the power of fate to help us find our way.

"Emily Sutton-Smith presents distinct, childlike voices and I did not realize that the voice of Maurice was being spoken by a female. I enjoyed sitting back and listening to this story."

" The author may have done one act of kindness so fortunate for this young man - but I can tell you the live person is not a kind person at all. I witnessed her orchestrate to get someone fired so she could take a demotion to save her own hide. Causing someone to be unemployed in a down economy is far from giving. I hate to see her profit when she caused harm to many others. "
