Letters from the Ground to the Heart

I have written about this amazing woman in the past and recently came across her new (to me) web site. The site name refers to the title of her book "Letters From the Ground to the Heart", which is a collection of her letters to friends in the immediate weeks and months after the tragic earthquake and tsunami. She is truly a gifted write and so ably captures the zeitgeist of region. It truly is a gift to be able to read her works. Please check out her website and buy her book.

Full disclosure: Benchmarking data reveals the human error in privacy
