    Novelist Walter Mosley examines the power of language to break and form bonds. Artist Flash Rosenberg connects with her father when he sends her coins he finds on the street, taking "find a penny, pick it up" to a whole new level. Barbara Weiner describes her harrowing rape and pursuit of stability. And actor Richard Kind proposes marriage, but waits a long, long time for an answer. Hosted by The Moth's Producing Director, Sarah Austin Jenness.
