Joanne Greenberg’s most recent publication is Miri, Who Charms (2009), a novel that delineates female friendship from the teen years through motherhood and careers. An internationally known, prize-winning writer, Greenberg is the author of fourteen novels and four collections of short stories. Her second novel, I Never Promised You a Rose Garden (1964), is a classic, poignant representation of recovery from schizophrenia which was translated into numerous other languages, made into a movie, and re-issued in 2009 with a new afterword by the author. Her novel, In This Sign (1970), broke new ground in the representation of the deaf.
