Ties That Bind-Stories of Love and Gratitude from the First Ten Years of StoryCorps

Ties That Bind by Dave Isay is a collection of stories that have been collected by the StoryCorps group
over the past 10 years.  StoryCorps mission is to offer individuals "the opportunity to record, share and preserve the stories of our lives."

To learn more about StoryCorps go to:
http://storycorps.org/about/

The book is divided into 3 sections: "We Saved Each Other", "Been Through Battles", and "Two Sides of the Same Heart", with each section having about 12 different short stories.  Some of the stories were quite touching, others just nice.

I think that the project is an important one for the future, so it was interesting to read some of the stories that have been preserved and learn more about StoryCorps.
