In Giving I Connect With Others

In her poignant audio essay for NPR's This I Believe series, novelist Isabelle Allende shares how her daughter's life and death illuminated the profound connection that comes from giving to others. This piece is part of a broader anthology featuring diverse voices—from notable figures like John McCain and Colin Powell to everyday Americans—who reflect on personal beliefs that resonate with the spirit of generosity and shared humanity. The collection invites listeners to explore their own convictions and the ways they connect with the world around them.
