A piece about a cab driver's giving an elderly woman a ride to a hospice has been reprinted in a number of books and widely circulated on the Internet since 1999, typically without attribution and under varying titles such as The Cab Ride, The Cab Driver, and The Taxi Driver: This narrative was in fact penned by author Kent Nerburn and was originally published under the title And where there is sadness, joy in his 1999 book Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace. In 2008, Kent Nerburn posted an entry on his blog in response to the Internet-prompted popularity of this item: Given the only witness to the events Nerburn described in his tale was someone who was unidentified and is now long dead, whether his account describes a real-life incident cannot be independently verified.
