DESCRIPTION:Michele A. Carter will talk about her second book to grow out of thirty 
 years of traveling and writing about the former Soviet Union. "From Under 
 the Russian Snow" is the title of her memoir about her most remarkable and 
 difficult year of her life.\n\nAt the age of 50, married and the mother of 
 two children in their early 20s, she left her job as managing editor of a 
 suburban daily newspaper in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1995 to move to 
 Russia for a year as United States Information Agency 
 Journalist-in-Residence. She was to serve as midwife to the birth of a free 
 press in the post Soviet, pre Putin bubble of freedom.\n\nShe would travel 
 across the eleven time zones of this enormous country, working with 
 newspaper editors who were struggling to adapt to the new concepts of press 
 freedom and a market economy. She would become an on the scene witness to 
 the second great Russian revolution. She would view Russia from her flat on 
 the embankment of the Moscow River and from her sometimes humorous shoulder 
 to shoulder participation in the life of the largest country in the 
 world.\n\nAt the same time, she would be embarking on a personal journey 
 that would wrench her life in a way never anticipated.\n\nFree\n
