Book Reviews of There Is No Me Without You: One Woman's Odyssey to Rescue Her Country's Children

Book Review: Eye opening... heartbreaking and heart warming.
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is an amazing look at what one individual can do to make a difference when the rest of the world isn't doing a whole lot. The history of the AIDS epidemic is enlightening. The story of this woman is amazing and the history of US drug companies failure to help and the government failure to step in initially is heartbreaking. The book is well written, wonderfully told and a captivating read.

Summary of There Is No Me Without You: One Woman's Odyssey to Rescue Her Country's Children

Two-time National Book Award nominee Melissa Fay Greene puts a human face on the African AIDS crisis with this powerful story of one woman working to save her country's children. After losing her husband and daughter, Haregewoin Teferra, an Ethiopian woman of modest means, opened her home to some of the thousands of children in Addis Ababa who have been left as orphans. There Is No Me Without You is the story of how Haregewoin transformed her home into an orphanage and day-care center and began facilitating adoptions to homes all over the world, written by a star of literary nonfiction who is herself an adoptive parent. At heart, it is a book about children and parents, wherever they may be, however they may find each other. Winner of Elle magazine's 2006 readers' award in nonfiction.
