Something for Everyone!

David Isay reminds us: "It's never too early to say the important things to the people who matter to you most..." Ties that Bind contains conversations from the first ten years of StoryCorps. Talk of admiration, pride, and whole-hearted, unabashed love will swell your heart and lift your spirit. Tales of forgiving, embracing and eventually loving the most unlikely of souls are stunning and hopeful and quite likely will reduce you to tears. Use caution and only water-proof mascara if you dare to read this book publicly and never begin reading without tissues close at hand. This is officially on my list of quintessential, go-to gifts because it is truly for everyone. Enjoy. jv poore
