Is anyone else out there fascinated by Jill Carroll's story? If you aren't reading, you can check it out at the Detroit Free Press or Monitor's website.
Carroll is the freelance journalist who was kidnapped while writing for the Monitor in Iraq. She's recounting her experience in an 11-part story. I have been addicted to her every account. Her experience is unfathomable to me.
Perhaps what draws me in even more is learning about her kidnappers and Iraq. The war and Iraq often dominate front pages and newscasts, but it's interesting to hear a story from a different perspective. Jill gives us insight to a country that dominates the news but is still so distant and foreign to most of us.
