	Description:		Award-winning filmmaker and author John Heminway talks about his new book In Full Flight: A Story of Africa and Atonement. He tells the story of Dr. Anne Spoerry, a legendary French doctor who treated hundreds of thousands of people across rural Kenya over the span of 50 years after World War II. Heminway uncovers her past as a "doctor" in a Nazi concentration camp and explores the question of whether it is possible to rewrite one's troubled past simply by doing good in the present. John Heminway will give a reading on Wednesday, February 21 at 7:30 pm at Diane’s Books of Greenwich Event at Perrot Memorial Library (90 Sound Beach Ave, Old Greenwich, Connecticut). This segment is guest hosted by Hari Kondabolou.
