Rachael Ray: Rachael's Daytime Talkshow

A Life-Changing Lunch

Aired on: May 29, 2012, November 1, 2011

Laura Schroff gave a hungry 11-year-old boy named Maurice Mazyck a meal 25 years ago — a simple gesture that changed both of their lives forever. She then became a mentor to Maurice, who went from begging on the streets to become a successful business owner, husband and father. Their inspiring friendship is recounted in Laura's book, An Invisible Thread. (Read an excerpt here.) Plus, see the huge surprise Rachael has for Maurice and his entire family!
