Christensen..
The first, Children of Chernobyl, was co-written with Michael J.
From Under the Russian Snow is the second book to grow out of her experiences in the former Soviet Union.
About the Author: Michelle A Carter is a professional journalist with a 30-year career in daily newspapering and a 12-year stint as a journalism instructor at Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, California.
At the same time, she embarked on a personal journey that wrenched her life in a way she could never have anticipated when she accepted her husband\'s challenge to take this assignment and culminate her eight years of work and travel in the former Soviet Union.
She viewed 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.
She became an on-the-scene witness to the second great Russian revolution.
There she traveled across the eleven time zones of this complex country, working with newspaper editors who struggled to adapt to the new concepts of press freedom and a market economy.
Michelle Carter at age fifty, married and the mother of two children in their early twenties, 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 a United States Information Agency Journalist-in-Residence.
