An invisible thread

Laura Schroff was a successful sales executive living and working in Manhattan. Maurice was a homeless eleven-year-old panhandler. When he asked for change so he could eat something, Laura kept walking but then something made her turn around and go back. And she continued to go back, nearly every week for years and their unexpected friendship has today spanned nearly thirty years. Because of Laura's interest in him Maurice has grown up, married, gotten a college degree, and holds a job.
