Author:
Drew Gilpin Faust
Publisher:
Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Date:
August 22, 2023
A memoir of coming of age in a conservative Southern family in postwar America.
What The Reviewers Say
The best parts of her book are the vivid stories of her involvement with the civil rights movement and her anti-Vietnam War work.
Part memoir, part political and cultural history, Faust’s is a keenly observed recollection of the forces that shaped her, though it may be frustrating to anyone in search of a deeper psychological portrait of this incredibly accomplished person.
Exquisitely reasoned and elegantly written.
A thrilling chronicle of awakening and activism..
