Description
Rachel Corrie’sdetermination to make a better, more peaceful world took her from Olympia,Washington, to the Middle East, where she died in 2003 while trying to blockthe demolition of a Palestinian family’s home in the Gaza Strip. Atwenty-three-year-old American activist, Corrie also possessed a striking giftfor poetry, writing, and drawing. Let Me Stand Alone, a selection of herjournals and letters as chosen by her family, reveals her story inher own hand, from her precocious reflections as a young girl to her finalemails. Corrie’s words—whether writing about the looming issues of our time orthe ordinary angst of an American teen—bring to life all that it means to comeof age: a dawning sense of self, a thirst for one’s own ideals, and an evolvingconnection to others, near and far.
