Book Nook On The Road: An Interview With Melissa Fay Greene For Her Book "The Underdogs"

We did something rather different recently when we recorded a Book Nook program before an audience at the Little Art Theatre in Yellow Springs in conjunction with the Greene County Public Library. Melissa Fay Greene returned to the program to do another interview for her book "The Underdogs: Children, Dogs, and the Power of Unconditional Love." This is the inspirational saga of 4 Paws for Ability in Xenia, Ohio and the woman who founded the organization, Karen Shirk.

"The Underdogs: Children, Dogs, and the Power of Unconditional Love" was the Big Read selection this year as hundreds of readers in our region discovered this remarkable story.

Listen to the podcast to discover that we had a surprise for our radio audience, a very special guest.

The Book Nook on WYSO is presented by the Greene County Public Library with additional support from Washington-Centerville Public Library,  Clark County Public LibraryDayton Metro Library, and Wright Memorial Public Library.
