At the end of life, we will not be remembered for the number of friends we had, but rather, how true we were to the friends that mattered.

About the Book

This book posits an interesting hypothetical - one that can open the door to discovering lost friends and lost memories. It is a book about recognizing the wonder of true friendship and the importance of not losing track of the people in our lives that have made a difference. It is an examination of why some friendships last and why others are sometimes lost. But more importantly, it is an opportunity to re-connect with people that matter and to strengthen the ties that enrich our lives through the magic of friendship.
