Former Director of the RI Department of Health Dr. Michael Fine, who is an author, doctor, and community organizer, joined GoLocal News Editor Kate Nagle on GoLocal LIVE to talk about his new book, Abundance.
The book is a love story that travels from the streets of Rhode Island to the civil war in Liberia — and Fine explained on LIVE why he wrote the book.
“First, I’ve been worried about the polarization of American culture for a long time. I started feeling that we were almost at war with each other back in 2005, 2006. Then I had the opportunity to go to Liberia in 2009,” said Fine. “In Liberia, I saw a place that not only really had a civil war, but had an awful civil war. And it became clear to me that we didn’t quite understand how much we were putting at risk and how much we had to lose.”
