An Invisible Thread: The True Story of an 11-Year-Old Panhandler, a Busy Sales Executive, and an Unlikely Meeting with Destiny Free Audiobook Download by Alex Tresniowski,Laura Schroff
The true story of how an 11-year-old girl from the mean streets of Manhattan became an unlikely facilitator for change.
The story unfolds with an 11-year-old autistic boy named Josh growing up in a modest suburb of Miami, Florida. At the beginning of the novel, he's forced to fend for himself and survive by holding out his cardboard sign reading "FOOD" on a city sidewalk. One day after being picked up by a woman driving her Mercedes, Josh learns that he has been given the opportunity to go see NYC or Paris during winter break from school.
[Isabelle] never stops. She pushes past the fatigue and intense hunger pangs of her struggle with anorexia to keep her body moving. Her mother is in the hospital, she tries to hide the malnourished state of her body from friends, she hides food from herself in order to control what she eats. In trying not to be seen, Isabelle will go to extremes: wearing baggy clothes and makeup as a disguise, pretending it doesn't bother her when people ask if they can help; staying away from people who might detect the telltale signs of starvation.
