Think back to a time in your life when you heard exactly what you needed to hear precisely when you needed to hear it. Award-winning actress and best-selling author Marlo Thomas remembers the encouragement her father gave during a hurdle in her acting career. She's never forgotten his words of support.
Thomas has joined over 100 friends and acquaintances in recording points of clarity in their lives--moments of inspiration from which they still draw today. These heartfelt accounts have been compiled in a special collection aptly titled
The Right Words at the Right Time.
Some essays are funny, some are sad. Others provide points for readers to ponder. Many of the "right words" came from parents, teachers or friends. Criticism was the catalyst in certain cases.
The contributors are all leaders in their respective fields. Aspects of the arts and business worlds are represented and the guest list is impressive. Cindy Crawford drew strength from her brother's short time on Earth. Matt Groening was inspired by his expulsion from the Boy Scouts. Barbara Walters was touched by a telegram stating "DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN."
The authors themselves generously contributed their stories in The Right Words at the Right Time. Royalties from the collection benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, founded by Danny Thomas.
The Right Words at the Right Time is an asset to any personal library. Its though-provoking essays will retain their impact through time. Thomas's effort also makes a fantastic gift for those who have touched your life. It's a treasure that shouldn't be missed.
