Melba Volkman

Melba Volkman sees Charleston as a living diary, her prose turning sidewalk cracks and church steeples into chapters of the city's quiet resilience. With a fondness for afternoon shadows and the stories they hide, she welcomes readers into the Holy City's ever-unfolding, human-sized drama.
