It has been said that no man is an island. We are all bound together by shared beliefs and shared experiences. As we go through life we find that we are not as unique as we once thought. We have much in common with the person who lives down the street, as well as the ones who live across the globe. Lives are not lived in vacuums but rather in interactive communities. This world of ?binding? is what gives life its richness. The stories in this book will reach inside the reader's heart and soul to strike a common chord. In lucid, memorable prose, Cooper offers remembrances, reflections, and experiences that can be shared by readers of all ages.
