"Combining the historian's urge for accuracy with a sociologist's sense of social nuance and a writerly passion for the beauty of language... Melissa Fay Greene serves the past by recreating it, and the future, by refusing to forget what has come before. [Her work] is an act of witness against the chaos."
--- 1996 National Book Award, Nonfiction Finalist citation
Melissa's new book There Is No Me Without You is about Haregewoin Teferra, a foster mother in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and the AIDS orphans she has raised.
