REVIEW by Elaine Williams, A Journey Well Taken: Life After Loss
http://www.ajourneywelltaken.com/
"In tragedy, often times it is the strongest who step forward and dare to make a difference.
As 9/11 widows Patti and Susan work through their own grief and loss, they move outside of themselves to highlight the extreme poverty of Afghanistan widows. Their personal journeys are enhanced by their efforts to empower these same women, strangers, half a world away.
This emotionally charged film draws you in from the first moment - it is a beautiful testimonial to the strength and courage of the human spirit."

Nice review, Elaine. I will definitely have to check this movie out.
HI Maryann: Thanks for stopping by. These two women and the organization they formed (along with the money raised) have made an incredible impact on widows in Afghanistan. Elaine
