Catch Your Falling Star

Christiane Banks is a passionate storyteller. In an intimate and diverse collection, she shares mostly true short tales, many of which she has either been told or experienced firsthand, that offer individual messages of hope, redemption, magic, blessings, and even a little star dust.

Banks invites us into her world, where a myriad of real-life characters leave their mark, either through words or actions. Within heartfelt stories that detail her many experiences and encounters are three young children who reminded her of their ability to understand what might be beyond their tender years, an older client whose life was unknowingly intertwined with hers, and the teacher who became a lifelong friend after a spontaneous tea date.

Banks gently reminds anyone ready to hold their hand out and catch their falling star that our purpose in life is to love and to be loved, to discover, to always be kind, and to tap into a passion that drives us toward something outside ourselves during the little time we have here on Earth.

Catch Your Falling Star is a special edition featuring seven additional new stories, expanding this beloved collection of mostly true inspirational tales gathered throughout a lifetime that embody the resilience, wonder, and beauty of the human spirit.
