You have surely heard about the tragic death of a brave young woman who was murdered in Iran just for peacefully protesting with her father on the streets of Teheran.
Hi Shoshana, It's great to have you as a member of the Dream Reachers Fan Club and hope you take time to check out the book. May all your dreams come true and have a wonderful week! Jessica :)
Shoshana my love, you should bring your Ford show to NYC. Do it in the subway if you have to. We can chase the mimes down 42nd street as you sing Barbra. You know that sounds like fun.
I saw you last night at the Ford Amphitheatre (June 11, 2009). You were absolutely amazing!!!! Loved the show. Cannot wait to see you in concert again. Hopefully I will make it to Vegas to see you in the Peep Show.
