Announcement of the release of 'Let Me Stand Alone - The Journals of Rachel Corrie'

[ISM Media Group]

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 flyer 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. We agonized over every editing decision--which pieces would
Rachel have included? Which would she have wanted to work on further?
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 <http://
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.

We look forward to seeing you in Berkeley, Seattle, Olympia, Portland,
DC, New York, Iowa City or Minneapolis! Please do help us spread the
word.


Thank you!

Cindy Corrie
