      Synopsis

      This book explores the art of finding the right words and actions at the right time--an invaluable handbook for expressing compassion, kindness, caring, and congratulations to friends and family, neighbors and colleagues, and anyone else who touches your life. Spizman focuses on how to use words wisely and well in both difficult and joyful times, allaying the common fear people have of appearing foolish or inadequate when they want their words to make a difference.

      July 30, 2002: Want to know just the right way to apologize to someone you've had a tiff with? Want to write a letter of sympathy to a friend's mother but don't know exactly what to say? Want to thank a business associate for sending work your way? WHEN WORDS MATTER MOST helps you with these kinds of letters, and many, many more. This book covers with grace every instance where you might want to write a note, from letters of apology and sympathy, to letters of encouragement, love, congratulations, and of course, thanks. I keep this book on my desk right next to my dictionary. I can't tell you how many times I have referred to Robyn Spizman's suggestions for guidance and inspiration. HIGHLY recommended.

      October 19, 2001: I was raised to appreciate the art of the letter. I've always sent thank-you notes for gifts, birthday cards to friends and family, holiday cards, get-well cards, etc. But as an adult, I've discovered that there is a true art to writing a thoughtful letter, and I've spent hours mulling over the right words to convey a messag. Then I bought WHEN WORDS MATTER MOST. This very special book offers thoughtful suggestions for every occasion, from birthdays, engagements, congratulations, births, holidays and retirements to words of sympathy, illness, apology, and farewell. And the book gives appropriate suggestions for different kinds of relationships, including family, business associates, neighbors, etc. Creative, thoughtful, and extremely inspirational, WHEN WORDS MATTER MOST is an essential book to own.
