Come and join us Tuesday, April 8th at 7:00 p.m. for a night of reading and conversation with the Corrie family. Let Me Stand Alone, the recent publication of their daughter Rachel's journals and writings, is a strong and beautiful book, full of deep and resonating questions about life, love and the meanings of freedom.

Born in Olympia, WA on April 10, 1979, Rachel Corrie spent her young life as an active volunteer addressing problems of homelessness, hunger and the environment in the Pacific Northwest. Her love and care for humankind is evident throughout this book, and led her on fearless personal and physical journeys. After completing her studies at the Evergreen State College in liberal arts, Rachel traveled to Israel and Palestine in January 2003, where she served as a nonviolent peace activist until her death on March 16th. She was twenty-three years old.

Every person that takes the time to read this book will benefit tremendously, as it is more than just an inspiring and cleverly written collection of vignettes and reflections. Rachel possessed the kind of passion for humanity and light that is rare to be seen throughout the world, and should be shared by all. It is sure to be an event that resonates for years to come. Please do join Craig and Cindy Corrie in celebrating their daughter's life and love.

We'll see you there!
