Empathy - The ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

Wow, Myrrena,

I was so impressed with your book.  It’s so human and real!  I just read a book about a Burmese revolutionary who goes to prison, hides out in the jungles of Burma and joins a revolutionary army.  Your book is just as riveting, engaging, and meaningful.  I learned so much and I realized that YOU could only write this and know this by living through this.  You had to get stuck and frustrated and let go of what you thought you knew about people and how they learn.  That was so clear to me in the book.  Don’t ask leading questions.  You can’t expect “Jon” to generalize!
