Hanging by a Thread — Emilie Richards

Somewhere, at this very moment, a woman's caring and commitment is changing a life in her community...and changing the world. Five of these compassionate, dedicated women have been chosen from nominees across North America to become Harlequin's More Than Words award recipients.

Now five bestselling romance authors celebrate these recipients in the More Than Words short story collection -- fiction inspired by the lives and efforts of these real-life heroines....

Because of their dedication, handmade quilts wrap needy children in warmth and love. Hand-painted memory boxes comfort mothers grieving the loss of a newborn baby. Abused women can reach for help online, and families are brought closer through literacy. One woman even found a way to feed the needy when she was homeless herself.

We hope More Than Words will touch your heart and inspire you to reach out in your community.

You've already helped -- proceeds from the sale of this book will be reinvested into the Harlequin More Than Words program to support causes that are of concern to women.
