LISTENING IS AN ACT OF LOVE: A CELEBRATION OF AMERICAN LIFE FROM THE STORYCORPS PROJECT: Penguin: Nonfiction: 2007
StoryCorps is a nonprofit organization that allows individuals to record the stories of their lives with the people they care about in small, sometimes traveling, studios. Listening is an Act of Love is a transcription of a number of interviews that have been recorded through the project. The stories are so diverse and so touching. A grandson interviews the grandmother who raised him. A 9/11 survivor describes his escape from one of the towers. A woman from India tells her American daughter-in-law about her arranged marriage. Each story is only a few pages long, but the entire collection is a powerful testament to the strength, resilience, and goodness of humanity.
