Small Things can Change Lives

What a gem of a story with a reminder we all can use about what matters. Narrator is spot on.

Thought-provoking novella

A glimpse into the life of a family man who’s life could’ve taken a very different turn and his bravery for an act of immense kindness toward a young woman living in the confines of the Magdalene laundry.
Difficult to believe this takes place in 1985.
Well worth the time to either listen to or read.

Beautifully read

The reader brought the story alive and the story was poetry. Short but so powerful.

Classic.

No wasted words here. Definitely reads like a classic. A longish shirt story, very satisfying.

short, inspiring and beautiful!
