We are currently waiting to bring home our two children (who are currently at Layla), and what I love about this book is that it makes our adoption seem very real to our friends and family members who previously showed little interest in, or understanding ...             Last Man Out: The Story of the Springhill Mine Disaster17 reviews Melissa Fay Greene Diane Pub Co, 2003 A whole lot more that a survival story! The basic facts of this book's content - the event surrounding the Spring Hill Mine rescue have been covered in other reviews and I will not waste time rehashing them yet again. Instead I would like to focus upon the less obvious gems within this book that in my opinion transend the amzing story of survival.

Greene truthfully tells the tale without painting Teferra as a "modern day Mother Teresa," but rather as a very real and human woman who is asked by clerics to ...             Praying for Sheetrock22 reviews Melissa Fay Greene Minerva, 1996 An evocative oral history and a provocative work of journalism There are a number of astonishing things about this provocative and evocative history of a remote coastal region of Georgia. Greene's chronicle is not simply an account of the institutional and covert racism that plagued one Southern county. Nor is it merely a biography of an unlikely black leader who led a momentous, peaceful rebellion against the white hierarchy before succumbing (at best) to ...             THE TEMPLE BOMBING MELISSA FAY GREENE VINTAGE, 1997             The Temple Bombing10 reviews Melissa Fay Greene Da Capo Press, 2006 History in the details There's been a lot written about the civil rights movement but the Temple Bombing is a real stand-out from the pack. Greene writes a compelling narrative, using the bombing of an Atlanta synagogue in 1958 as a touchstone for an in-depth social history. There's a good overview of Jewish life in the American south, the history of extremist groups in mid-20th century America, and how the bombing of ...              nonfiction The New Kings of Nonfiction Nonfiction Craft Lessons: Teaching Information Writing K-8 Writing Creative Nonfiction Nonfiction Matters: Reading, Writing, and Research in Grades 3-8 Contemporary Creative Nonfiction: I & Eye ethiopian From Babylon to Timbuktu: A History of the Ancient Black Races ...
