Woven through the narratives are ten useful building blocks for forging bonds with people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. The stories offer compelling portraits of people such as:

Heartwarming, poignant, humorous, instructive, and inspiring, the stories will appeal to those who visit with or care for elders. More broadly, this is a book about forming friendships in unexpected ways. It testifies to the healing power of communication, music, laughter, celebrating, and just being present with someone. Come discover the power of ageless friendship!
