I love these stories. McLean talked about "the importance of being unimportant" and that's what these disarming stories all have in common. They're just the funny, strange, weird, or heart-tugging stories that you'll hear from your friends and co-workers, but McLean puts this lovely polish on them that makes them so comforting, you can't help but smile after each one.
