Lauren Belfer spoke at our public library, and had her husband along. Fascinating talk, and she did a tremendous amount of research for this book. We subsequently read *And After the Fire *at our temple book club, and everyone loved the book (and this is a group that rarely agrees). Highly recommend the book!
