About this audiobook
In celebration of StoryCorps#8217; ten year anniversary, Ties That Bind goes to the heart of the project#8217;s great mission, sharing stories that are a testament to family and to the diversity of American experience. From the story of one couple separated temporarily by divorce and then permanently by the tragedy of 9/11, to the amazing power of forgiveness shown by a mother toward her son#8217;s repentant killer, these are moving, uplifting, real-life stories from everyday Americans, gathered by StoryCorps and heard on NPR#8217;s Morning Edition.This highlight edition features exclusive audio contents, including StoryCorps founder Dave Isay in conversation with NPR#8217;s Scott Simon, as well as oral historian Studs Terkel#8217;s memorable dedication of the StoryCorps booth in Grand Central Terminal. These moving, humanity-drenched, first-person accounts epitomize the strength of the ties that bind us to each other, against the pull of powerful forces.
