Jim Forbes talks with Terri Jentz, who is an author and screenwriter living in Los Angeles, about her new book, STRANGE PIECE OF PARADISE, now out in paperback by Picador books. It’s the true story of a deadly attack she and a college classmate barely survived while camping in the late 1970s; the attack made national news headlines, but the perpetrator was never caught. Jim and Terri will be discussing her process of healing from this traumatic event.

Dear Friends,
The Harry Tompson Center is a day shelter for homeless guests to shower, do laundry, seek medical and legal services, etc. Our friend Don thompson (no relation) has gotten the Tompson Center into the top 10 of a Burger King initiative to raise funds. The HTC on Baronne Street had a 'Special K' incident in August 2005 and a new facility is being built on the property at St. Joseph's Church (you can see it rapidly progressing as you drive the interstate). We originally thought the new facility would be about 250K, and it is turning to more like 950K. Even so we are only 100K short, thanks to grants and the Vincentians, Jesuits, Presentation Sisters, etc. all coming together. By voting for the Harry Tompson Center on the site listed below (and lots of prayers)
you will help us get closer to the goal. The grand opening of the new center is August 26th and we don't want to open in debt! As Don says below, you can vote daily from your computer and I have made a bookmark on my toolbar so I just hit it in the morning when I turn on my
computer...
Thanks for all you do each day!!
Peace, Katy Quigley
