I have always been fascinated by the power of a single decision. A stranger opens your door, you exchange a glance across a busy room, you answer a wrong number...and suddenly your life is entwined with someone else's. So I decided to embark on an experiment to demonstrate the beauty of embracing life's unexpected connections.

As my sister-in-law and I stood on the 16th Street Mall in Denver, Colorado, we asked dozens of strangers to participate in our film. Many said no, and as a result, I know nothing about them. But the people who agreed--the ones who stopped for a moment and let us into their lives--are forever connected, however briefly, to me and to one another. I am grateful to them for taking a chance.

In this video, we quote the first paragraph of the synopsis of my novel, Devil's Food--a book that explores the bonds that can grow from these unexpected interactions.

I hope you enjoy the video as much as I loved making it!
