Melissa Fay Greene on Parenthood

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 4, 2011

Melissa Fay Greene, best known for her books on the civil rights movement and the African HIV/AIDS pandemic, talks about a more personal side of her life—parenthood. No Biking in the House Without a Helmet is her celebration of parenthood and her ingathering of children, through birth and adoption, and it paints a loving portrait of a unique family wobbing between disaster and joy.
