How do we find our way in the world? How do our actions affect others?
These timeless questions were eloquently posed by Rachel Corrie, the young American college student and activist killed by a bulldozer in 2003 as she tried to block the Israeli demolition of a Palestinian physicians house in Gaza. She was 23 years old.
Let Me Stand Alone, The Journals of Rachel Corrie (published by W.W. Norton) intimately reveals Rachels life, from her childhood observations at age 8 living in Olympia, WA, through her growth into teen concerns, falling in and out of love, revealing her deepening reflections and political engagements with startling insight, passion, compassion and humor. This beautiful book acquaints the reader with a very gifted writer and her unique clarity of consciousness.
