Title: When They Ask You to Dinner -- Eat First
Description: We all have &quot;why me?&quot; days and wish we’d stayed in bed.  Then, we have those marvelous days that make life special.  An old proverb tells us, &quot;life is like a Zebra. One day a white stripe, the next day a black stripe, and it is always in motion.&quot;When life seems parked on a black-stripe day, the heart-warming stories in this book will remind you that a white stripe is not far off.  Then when you get there, celebrate with another story.  In minutes, you will find yourself shaking your fists at the heavens and joyously proclaiming &quot;This is my day and I’m unsinkable!&quot;This book is rooted in America’s Great Depression.  In such times, life is powerfully hard, but unconditional love can overpower it.   This is when a young girl from a struggling immigrant family in New York learned that no depression imaginable, can trump the magic of unconditional love.  These are the joyous and life-affirming stories of her childhood.[DOI: 10.1572/yowbooks.when]
