Laura Schroff Libros

This inspirational New York Times bestseller chronicles the lifelong friendship between a busy sales executive and a disadvantaged young boy, and how both of their lives were changed by what began as one small gesture of kindness. “A straightforward tale of kindness and paying it forward in 1980s New York….an uplifting reminder that small gestures matter” ( Kirkus Reviews ). Stopping was never part of the plan... She was a successful ad sales rep in Manhattan. He 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 went back. And she continued to go back, again and again. They met up nearly every week for years and built an unexpected, life-changing friendship that has today spanned almost three decades. Whatever made me notice him on that street corner so many years ago is clearly something that cannot be extinguished, no matter how relentless the forces aligned against it. Some may call it spirit. Some may call it heart. It drew me to him, as if we were bound by some invisible, unbreakable thread. And whatever it is, it binds us still.

Nach ihrem Welterfolg „Immer montags beste Freunde“ ist Laura Schroff vielen Menschen begegnet, die ebenfalls durch spontane Hilfeleistungen große Wirkung erzielt haben. In dreißig Geschichten erzählt die Bestsellerautorin davon, wie wichtig eine gute Tat in schweren Momenten ist, wie Menschen durch die rettende Hand des anderen ins Leben zurückfinden. „Bevor du weitergehst“ knüpft an den Erfolg des ersten Buches an, es widmet sich wieder den universalen Themen wie Freundschaft, Liebe und Hilfsbereitschaft. Diesmal mit spannenden Porträts von unterschiedlichsten Menschen und deren Schicksalen.
