If you are anguished by a child’s destiny, cannot help a person, are annihilated by pain, have lost your guide in your life – if your life comes down to this, where can you find the strength to move on? Sandro Mayer answers by going over the story of our everyday lives, through the letters of his love affairs and especially his encounters. Encounters with strangers and with famous people, with the worlds – desperate and full of hope – of Padre Pio and Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Una emozione in più is a book for youngsters in search for their paths and for anybody who has swayed from it: in a growing plant, in the outstretched hand of a stranger, in the sweet eyes of your four-legged friends.
