Southampton - "Facebook Fairytales: Modern-Day Miracles to Inspire the Human Spirit" (Skyhorse Publishing Paperback Original, April 2010) by Emily Liebert with foreword from Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO of Facebook, presents 25 true stories emanating from the world's most popular social networking site. These tales will surprise, amuse, touch, and inspire anyone who has regained a lost friend or been touched by the kindness of a stranger.

Author Liebert has written a thought-provoking, inspiring and uplifting book compiled of true exchanges on Facebook. Bravo to Liebert as she has managed to make each retelling its own 'story' that draws the reader in and commits them to the outcome. Taking a modern day convenience and extrapolating both intelligent and emotional access to it may also harken back to the wonderful, shorts articles many of us grew up reading in "Readers Digest." Grab this book, settle in and be the most involved voyeur into the lives and triumphs, and sometimes tragedies, that befall those who have chosen to reach out in the internet darkness to connect and reconnect with their fellowman.

Facebook, after only a few years, is home to more that 350 million users around the globe and has given birth to a vast and intricate web of personal connections, bringing people together and transforming lives in unimaginable ways. It reminds all of us that the resilience of the human spirit is truly powerful, even online. Some of the amazing stories in this book include:

 • Sisters reunited after 40 years
 • An adoptive couple taking home a child
 • A teenager's life saved across an ocean
 • A young mother receiving a kidney from a stranger over 1,000 miles away
 • A hit-and-run victim tracking down the culprit who nearly killed him
 • A woman who secured her dream job
 • A family that found their beloved lost cat after moving to a different city, and many more.
