Nonfiction author Melissa Faye Greene spoke about her first novel “Praying for Sheetrock” at Ivy Hall at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 4. The book took 15 years to write and was published in 1991. Greene is known for writing books based on true Georgian tragedies such as “The Temple Bombing” and “Last Man Out: The Story of the Springhill Mine Disaster.” She has also been inducted into the Georgia Writer’s Hall of Fame at the University of Georgia.
