Grab a seat at the acclaimed Ivy Hall Writers Series to hear Atlanta-based nonfiction author Melissa Fay Greene discuss her upcoming book, “The Underdogs: Children, Dogs, and the Power of Unconditional Love,” to be released May 2016.

Written with characteristic insight, humanity, humor and irrepressible joy, this true story of Karen Shirk and the trials she faced to secure a service dog profoundly explores our attachment to dogs, what constitutes a productive life and what we can accomplish with unconditional love.

The Ivy Hall Writers Series brings acclaimed authors, bloggers, editors, journalists and writers of all kinds to discuss their work and share insight with SCAD Atlanta writing students.

Greene, a two time National Book Award nominee, will speak at SCADShow on Tuesday, May 17 at 7:00. The talk, which is free and open to the public, will be followed by a book signing.
