Sandy Hook book project

Hey All, 
I'm helping my friend (fellow Columbine survivor) with an important project for Newtown. While we're still pursuing traditional avenues for publication, we're keeping options open for self-publishing too. Please take a moment to review and donate if you're so inclined (click hyperlink below). 

Sandy Hook book project

This project relates back to CNN's December invitation for me to write an article in response to the Newtown shooting:

Per the reference in the article, a fellow Columbine survivor (now elementary school teacher) and I are working to publish a book for Newtown students to assist in their healing process -- even broader than Sandy Hook, it is a tool for anyone who has suffered a tragedy and is struggling to rebuild their life.  

Written for children 6+, the book explores the spectrum of emotions those involved will experience and most importantly -- reassured that they will be alright -- coming from those who have been in their shoes before, this is a powerful and helpful message for healing.


Thanks in advance for any help you can offer in this effort.

All the best,
Liz
