Description
Hear Rachel Louise Snyder as she tells her own story, which is as dramatic as many of those she has covered during her career as an award-winning journalist.
After decades spent reporting on abuse and violence around the globe and telling other people’s tales, she has now focused on her own. She was just eight years old when her mother died, and her grief-stricken father thrust the family into an evangelical, cult-like existence halfway across America.
In her unflinching memoir, Women We Buried, Women We Burned, she charts her journey from teenage runaway to reporter on the global epidemic of violence against women. Snyder will discuss her astonishing story, the collective power of grief, faith and love, and how she transformed her life, in what promises to be an illuminating conversation.
