The Kindness of Strangers

While looking for books on traveling with children, I happened across this book in the stacks.  I was actually at the library alone, so I had time to browse. 

It's a compilation of stories by both published and first-time authors about encounters with kind strangers while traveling around the world.  With an introduction by the Dalai Lama and a focus throughout on kindness and what binds us together as humans, this book radiated faith in the goodness of people.

A little bit of everything and a fast read, this book would make an excellent companion on a journey or a good escape through the adventures of others for the homebound.
