“The Secret Provider,” written by Dawn Raffel in the November 2010 issue of Reader’s Digest.  The article discusses how the book A Secret Gift: How One Man’s Kindness–and a Trove of Letters–Revealed the Hidden History of the Great Depression by Ted Gup came to be.  It’s an interesting story and I can’t wait to read the book.
