À propos du livre
Born into the uneasy normality of postwar Kansas City, a girl comes of age in the fast changing world of the 1960’s. With a government in crisis and social traditions failing, she navigates the counter-cultural rapids and family upheavals. Escapes to Ozark waterways and engagement with the wondrous evolving music of the day are transformative. University life, travel and activism open doors to the big world and unlikely relationships widen her view. Buoyant with curiosity, she creates an adulthood beyond the one expected of her. A look back on these years then begins to reveal parallels with today’s world and challenges.
