“As good as we humans are at division, we’re better still at
connection. Ties That Bind shows this again and again.” —The
New York Times
“A testimony to the power of narrative and vision. . . . The
collection features an astonishing range of voices, and the stories
recount exceptional events in the lives of 'noncelebrated' people.
As a result of the participants’ refreshing lack of cynicism, the
book is appealingly down-to-earth and, ultimately, moving. The
collection successfully fulfills its mission: to make readers feel
'more connected, awake, and alive.'" —Publishers Weekly
