About More Than Words Inc. Massachusetts, United States

Seller rating: This seller has earned a 4 of 5 Stars rating from Biblio customers.

More Than Words empowers youth who are in foster care, court-involved, homeless or out of school to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business. MTW believes that when system-involved youth are challenged with authentic and increasing responsibilities in a business setting, and are given high expectations and a culture of support, they can and will address personal barriers to success, create concrete action plans for their lives, and become contributing members of society. More Than Words began as an online bookselling training program for youth in DCF custody in 2004 and opened its vibrant bookstore on Moody St in Waltham in 2005 and added its Starbucks coffee bar in 2008. MTW replicated its model in the South End of Boston in 2011, thereby doubling the number of youth served annually.

First line

The shock of first grief is an amazement that what was alive and of this world only a few moments ago is irrevocably gone.

From the rear cover

This book is composed of selections from the 'Literature of Mourning'. From Catullus to Camus, Shakespeare to Virgina Woolf, from Lady Ise to Adrienne Rich, great writers express the inexpressible.

Media reviews

"It is hard to have patience with people who say, There is no death or Death doesn't matter. There is death. And whatever is matters."

-- C.S. Lewis
