Book Description
As her stop came up, Kate got up and bumped into Evan, knocking the papers out of his hand. 'I'm so sorry. Let me help you pick them up,' she said, embarrassed. 'I can get them. Besides, I know you're in a hurry to get to work. I could tell by how much you kept looking at your watch.' Evan picked up his papers, and they exited the train together. 'Maybe we will see each other again sometime.' They headed their separate ways. Kate glanced back one last time to take in what Evan looked like. She wanted to remember his face. It was tan with a few wrinkles around his eyes. His blue eyes gave the impression they could see into her soul. There was something about this man that touched her spirit. It was like she had met him before. Some people are just meant to have their dreams come true because they are destined to help others through those dreams. What started out to be a normal day for Dr. Kate Herrman—a pediatric surgeon—and Evan Randall would soon be changed in an instant. A train ride, dropped papers, and one glance will set into motion a chain of events that could not have been foreseen. Were Kate and Evan destined to meet, or was someone intervening? Find out the answer and more in Debra Becht's riveting novel, Tiny Stitches.

A Publishers Weekly Top Ten Best Book of the Year An Amazon.com Top Ten Best Book of 2009 A Washington Post Book World’s Ten Best Book of the Year A California Literary Review Best Book of 2009 An L.A. Times Top 25 Non-Fiction Book of 2009 An NPR Best Book of the Year, Best Memoir With this stunning graphic memoir, David Small takes readers on an unforgettable journey into the dark heart of his tumultuous childhood in 1950s Detroit, in a coming-of-age tale like no other. At the age of fourteen, David awoke from a supposedly harmless operation to discover his throat had been slashed and one of his vocal chords removed, leaving him a virtual mute. No one had told him that he had cancer and was expected to die. The resulting silence was in keeping with the atmosphere of secrecy and repressed frustration that pervaded the Small household and revealed itself in the slamming of cupboard doors, the thumping of a punching bag, the beating of a drum. Believing that they were doing their best, David’s parents did just the reverse. David’s mother held the family emotionally hostage with her furious withdrawals, even as she kept her emotions hidden — including from herself. His father, rarely present, was a radiologist, and although David grew up looking at X-rays and drawing on X-ray paper, it would be years before he discovered the shocking consequences of his father’s faith in science. A work of great bravery and humanity, Stitches is a gripping and ultimately redemptive story of a man’s struggle to understand the past and reclaim his voice.

Book Description
The New York Times bestseller from the author of Dusk, Night, Dawn, Hallelujah Anyway, Bird by Bird, and Almost Everything “Lamott’s …most insightful book yet, Stitches offers plenty of her characteristic witty wisdom…this slim, readable volume [is] a lens on life, widening and narrowing, encouraging each reader to reflect on what it is, after all, that really matters.”—People What do we do when life lurches out of balance? How can we reconnect to one other and to what’s sustaining, when evil and catastrophe seem inescapable? These questions lie at the heart of Stitches, Lamott’s profound follow-up to her New York Times–bestselling Help, Thanks, Wow. In this book Lamott explores how we find meaning and peace in these loud and frantic times; where we start again after personal and public devastation; how we recapture wholeness after loss; and how we locate our true identities in this frazzled age. We begin, Lamott says, by collecting the ripped shreds of our emotional and spiritual fabric and sewing them back together, one stitch at a time. It’s in these stitches that the quilt of life begins, and embedded in them are strength, warmth, humor, and humanity.
