Photos and stories from local author Carol Spindel's recently released book. In her book of true stories, I Give You Half the Road, writer Carol Spindel recounts the turbulent recent history of Ivory Coast by interweaving the lives of five people she has known since they were children -- a schoolteacher in a fast-growing city; an HIV-positive widow trying to hide her illness and support her sons; a diviner who speaks with spirits and sells bulletproof shirts; a scrap iron dealer who is successful despite being illiterate, and a young man who joins an armed rebellion and learns that war is a business. This is also an American writer's memoir of a long-term relationship between her family and the Ivorian community she loves and learns from.
