For most of us, most of the time, keys are simply pieces of metal�things we stash in a pocket or purse, hardly thinking about them between uses. It�s when we misplace one that the key reveals itself to be one of the most significant articles in the world. Without the right key, we�re locked out�and in need of help. That�s why we also use the word key in another, figurative sense: to stand for an idea that answers a riddle, solves a problem.

This profound connection between physical and metaphorical keys is the touchstone of photojournalist Linda Solomon�s powerful new book. A collector of vintage keys, Solomon decided to make photographs of these intriguing objects. As she was doing so, she fell upon a revelation�that the keys we truly treasure are those that wisely address life�s difficulties and bring us peace of mind.

In The Key, Solomon couples her beautiful black-and-white photos of intricate antique keys with words of wisdom from some of our time�s most celebrated people. The author interviewed luminaries in every field�Sidney Poitier, Tony Bennett, Doris Day, Kim Novak, Meredith Vieira, Barbara Walters, Hilary Duff, and many others�including celebrities who rarely grant interviews. Each life-changing, life-affirming insight in this wonderful collection is accompanied by a key that symbolizes the interviewee. Proceeds from the book will benefit breast cancer research, and several of the contributors are survivors of the disease.
