Publisher's Synopsis
"7.8 billion. That's how many people populate the world. Yet, sometimes we feel like we're all alone. Perhaps we've lost hope and need to find inspiration and direction. Or maybe we're just having a bad day. Then, when we least expect it, a stranger smile, pays for our meal, offers us a helping hand, or imparts timely words of wisdom. Something shifts. Warmness fills our hearts. We feel a little bit less alone. This collection of heartwarming stories shows how a brief encounter with a stranger can brighten someone's day or even change their life. The encounters might be fleeting, but each leave behind a message of hope that will not soon fade away. There are 7.8 billion people in this world, and it's up to us to make it a kinder place. After all, we are all in this together.
