Scott E. Blumenthal, writer
"Kiss Talks"
An unforgettable experience for your book club, book store, study group, and more.
Writing The Kiss was a ten-year journey that began with a seemingly impossible challenge: to find survivors of a community that was wiped out in a two-day massacre in 1941.
There were invaluable guides along the way: A renowned musician. A controversial Holocaust theologian. A page from a 75-year-old phone book.
But the search for even a single survivor seemed impossible.
Then, an incredible series of coincidences led to an extraordinary group of survivors who would breathe life into The Kiss—and inspire the message at its heart: Each of us has a gift—and with it, the power to change the world.
