As I listen to CNN’s coverage of the tragedies in China and Myanmar, I can’t help feeling an uneasy sense of deja vu. While the circumstances are certainly unique, the photos of grief-stricken survivors reminds me of the images of the aftermath of the 2004 Tsunami and of Hurricane Katrina. It was in the wake of these earlier disasters that the WomanScapes anthology was written as a fundraiser for humanitarian relief.  While the names have changed, the need for international assistance remains the same, so if you haven’t read WomanScapes yet, now is the perfect time to do so.  Not only will your donation benefit those in need, but you’ll have a great collection of short stories to read on your summer vacation!
