People in our lives matter. This is the message of Henryk Hoffmann's collection of largely autobiographical texts written by people - family, friends and acquaintances - who played an important role in the author's transatlantic life. Out of gratitude for their friendship and the inspiration they provided, he gives them an opportunity to tell their stories, which turn out to be as varied and as interesting as the people who tell them. People in our lives matter, and so do their stories.

Resonance. To attune to another person, to be in resonance with others is to see them and to hear them, to be seen by them and to be heard by them. To read Henry Hoffmann's book is to take a journey into the lives, the feelings, the experiences of many of his friends, relatives and others. Feel what it is like to be in resonance as you read these beautiful expressions of friendship, devotion and love.
