Beneath the Same Heaven

ANNE MARIE RUFF has spent her whole life telling stories: as a novelist, journalist, radio broadcaster, editor, teacher, and actor. She has spent much of her life traveling the world, living abroad, and asking questions in search of stories worth telling. Her work has been published/broadcast by NPR, BBC, PRI, PBS, Christian Science Monitor, Time Asia, Far Eastern Economic Review, and International Herald Tribune TV. Anne Marie’s first novel, Through These Veins, follows the development of a cure for AIDS, and draws on her reporting about the environment, biodiversity, biotech, and AIDS research in Thailand, Ethiopia, and Turkmenistan. She lives in the big woods of Minnesota with her husband and their two sons.
