About the Author:
A resident of Brooklyn, New York, Sorah Shapiro is a journalist who writes for major secular and Jewish publications. Multi talented and multifaceted, with a kaleidoscopic background in law, advertising, psychology, education, Judaic studies, graphic arts and music, it is no wonder she is affectionately referred to as "Renaissance Woman."

She is the author of City on Fire, an anthology on 9/11, Nation on Fire, an anthology on terrorism in the Holy Land, and Trials and Triumphs, a volume of inspirational stories of hope and inspiration.
