Description
As a follow-up to her 2002 "New York Times" #1 bestseller "The Right Words at the Right Time," Thomas presents 101 new first-person stories that are at once universal and strikingly personal.
As this anthology proves, the "right words" can be found anywhere -- the pages of a dusty old songbook; the pulpit of a neighborhood church; the wreckage of Ground Zero, a hand-stitched sampler hanging on a wall; and a child's simple expression of love.
