Charleston, SC, Sept. 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Do you believe our lives are shaped by the people we meet?

In Irene Sardanis’s mind, connection is the key to building a better understanding of our world and cultivating a fuller life.

Following her award-winning first memoir Out of the Bronx, Irene is back with another thought-provoking look into her past — capturing the importance of connection and illustrating how strangers can hold the key to coming to a better place inside your own mind.

Growing up with an alcoholic father and a severely depressed mother, Irene was deprived of love and connection from an early age. However, after several years of therapy unwound the starved web of ropes in her stomach, she realized that she could accept the responsibility of filling the hole her parents left by forging meaningful connections herself.

Irene discusses in this new memoir how she’s been able to establish connections in unpredictable ways wherever she goes. For the introverts, the world travelers, and those seeking fulfilling connections, Irene’s book provides tips on how to build vibrant relationships with every day and out-of-the-blue strangers.
