Human Touch: A Story in Real Time by Mitch Albom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.0/5.0 stars - Author Mitch Albom wants stories that inspire, offer hope, and help us realize our humanity, and Human Touch is yet another example of this. Written in real time and shared weekly, this serialized book is offered for free on his website https://www.mitchalbom.com/human-touc... or through Audible.com. In eight episodes, it tells the story of four families, friends and neighbors, as they encounter the virus. Their trials and tribulations, mishaps and mistakes, courage and cowardice, sharing and bravery are all part of this story. It is an unusual tale in its universality, we are all living this time together, and so it touches each reader in its own way. The author describes why he wrote the book this way:

"I believe in humanity. I believe we will get through this together. And then we’ll each have our own “human touch” story to tell.

This book was chosen for the first meeting of Talons and Tales, the SUNY Brockport book club.
Book 165 of 2020.
