FROM THE CORRIES:

Friends,

I am thrilled to announce the release
of my daughter
Rachel's writings in the new book
Let Me Stand Alone
: The Journals of Rachel Corrie,
published by W.W. Norton & Co. and available in
bookstores and online! I am also
excited to invite you to
attend a series of book launch events across the country
that Craig and I will be participating in during the
month of April. We hope that you and your friends
will join us to celebrate Rachel's book at one of these
events and that you will use the
attached info to help us spread the word about each one.

We are particularly excited that the first book event,
on Saturday, April 5th in Berkeley, California, will be
filmed by C-SPAN for later broadcast on the program
"Book TV". This is a wonderful way to launch
Rachel's book and the book tour. We want to make sure
the audience is filled for C-SPAN so if you are in the Bay
Area, please join us that evening and bring your friends!
The event is sponsored by KPFA Radio Station and additional
information and advanced ticket sales can be
found at their website
http://kpfa.org/events/index.php?#1584
More detailed information about all the events is listed
below and on the attached flyer.

Working on the book was an alternately exhilarating and
challenging process. However, we knew how much Rachel
wanted her writing to have a wider impact and we still
believe deeply that the questions she pondered
and the realities she witnessed are universally important
to confront. It is a true milestone for our family, and for
Rachel, that her words in this book reach the world.

More information about Let Me Stand Alone, including
how to purchase it,
can be found at www.letmestandalone.com

If we are not scheduled to be in your
area during the April book tour, but you would like to
organize a future reading, you can contact us through this
website as well.

As Craig wrote in the introduction to the book:
Words were sacred to Rachel, and her words have
become treasures to us. They are what we have
left and are an immense gift to our family.
With this book, we offer that gift to you.

Please do help us spread the word.

Thank you!
Cindy Corrie
