Overview

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. 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 all over 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 introduces remarkable people whose invisible thread stories will move, surprise, and inspire readers. Angels on Earth sheds light on how everyone can live happier, more purposeful lives through sharing random acts of kindness.

Inspirational, powerful and so profoundly moving. Angels On Earth is a beautifully written testament to the life changing power of a simple act of kindness. This book brought me to tears many times. But Angels on Earth is so much more than a touching and thought provoking read. Laura Schroff and Alex Tresniowski have given us what the world needs right now, proof that despite the news headlines, there really is so much good in the world. Thank you Laura and Alex for that gentle reminder. <p/> <p/>--Yvette Manessis Corporon, Internationally Best Selling Author, When The Cypress Whispers
