In 2010, Hannah Brencher was living in New York and feeling lonely. She began to write letters to strangers and left them around the city and offered to write letters to anyone who might need one.

Brencher joins The Daily Circuit Monday, Jan. 14 to talk about her project, called 'The World Needs More Love Letters.'
