For four years, Barb kept a detailed journal about the family's experiences, recording people's stories and events both domestic and political, local and national, chronicling the early days of the revolution that overthrew Emperor Haile Selassie I as well as the drought and famine that moved across this East African nation. Barb now lives with her husband in Springfield, Illinois where she writes and is a community organizer. Several of these stories are published separately, including the children's book, Christmas in Gondar, Five Ethiopian Stories, available soon.view less
