Review Letters from the Ground to the Heart

This book is a collection of heart-warming letters, but be warned, they may bring a tear to your eye.
Each letter paints a picture of hope in the life's simple pleasures - finding a shop selling rice, being able to wash after so long without running water, a farmer friend delivering eggs.
It's these little moments that news coverage, although excellent, fails to cover. Anne brings it all to life and makes you thankful for what you have. And then you feel the need to help.
The book is also an insight into the Japanese and how their culture shapes the way they cope with disaster. I recommend it to everyone, especially anyone with a love of Japan and its people.
