Beskrivelse
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.
