How do the authors of “A Simple Act” and An Invisible Thread explain events first meeting between Laura Maurice?

In the book "A Simple Act," the authors Laurie Collier Hillstrom and Rick Hillstrom do not mention a meeting between Laura Maurice and another character. The book focuses on the life and experiences of Laura Maurice and her journey to advocate for the homeless.

On the other hand, the book "An Invisible Thread" by Laura Schroff and Alex Tresniowski describes a meeting between Laura Schroff and Maurice Mazyck, a homeless man she met in New Jersey. However, the authors don't explain this first encounter in detail. Instead, they gradually reveal their developing friendship and the impact they had on each other's lives.
