The Right Words at the Right Time » (Reprint)

Marlo Thomas graduated from the University of Southern California with a teaching degree. She is the author of five bestselling books, "Free to Be ...You and Me, Free to Be...a Family, The Right Words at the Right Time, Thanks and Giving: All Year Long, " and "The Right Words at the Right Time Volume 2: Your Turn!" Ms. Thomas has won four Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe, a Grammy, the Peabody Award, and has been inducted into the Broadcasting Hall of Fame for her work in television, including her starring role in the landmark series "That Girl, " which she also conceived and produced.

For Marlo Thomas-beloved philanthropist and performer-the idea for this audiobook came out of along commitment to helping people achieve dreams and accomplish goals. "Everybody remembers a private story," Marlo thought, "when someone's words helped you through a tough moment-and remain an inspiration for life." She asked her friends in the worlds of entertainment, sports, and business to share their own stories. The result of her efforts is this lovely audio volume. Full of heartwarming stories and testimonials, The Right Words at the Right Time features a star-studded wealth of memories, reflections, and enduring lessons.
