Release December 2005
At twenty-three, Clea Koff started making bones talk and set about giving dignity to the dead when she joined Physicians for Human Rights as a forensic anthropologist. Working initially in Rwanda, after the genocide that tore the country apart in 1994, she exhumed mass graves seeking evidence that would help bring the guilty to justice and allow relatives to lay the dead to rest. The Bone Woman is her unflinching account of what she saw and how it affected her. It is an unforgettable read, alternately riveting, frightening and miraculously hopeful.
