  • "Laura Schroff was a successful ad sales rep living and working in Manhattan. Maurice was a homeless, eleven-year-old panhandler on the street. He asked for spare change; she kept walking. But then something stopped her in her tracks, and she turned around and went back. And she continued to go back, again and again. They met nearly every week for years and built an unexpected friendship that has today spanned almost three decades, bringing life to an over-scheduled professional and hope to a hungry and desperate boy."
  • "When Schroff first met Maurice on a New York City street corner, she had no idea that she was standing on the brink of an incredible and unlikely friendship that would inevitably change both their lives. As one lunch at McDonald's with Maurice turns into two, then into a weekly occurrence, she learns heart-wrenching details about Maurice's horrific childhood."@en
  • "Un tarde lluviosa, Laura Schroff pasó junto a un niño que mendigaba en una esquina de Nueva York. Siguió caminando, pero algo la hizo detenerse y volver sobre sus pasos. Tras cambiar algunas palabras con el niño, lo invitó a comer al McDonald's que había enfrente. Continuó invitándolo durante los cuatro años siguientes. Con el tiempo, las vidas de ambos cambiaron drásticamente, pero siguieron en contacto. Casi treinta años después, aquel niño, Maurice, está casado y tiene una familia propia. Ahora trabaja para combiar las vidas de otros niños desvalidos como él. -- p. [4] of cover."
