This is an excellent memoir written to bring back memories of the 'Silent Generation,' particularly women, who were born between 1938-1944. The book gives historical content in a nostalgic way. Guaranteed to pull the heartstrings of your memory, as you re-live the caustic 1960's with the fights about the Vietnam War and the social unrest of both the Civil Rights Movement and fight for Women's Rights. The book also covers the 1970's when the nation sought healing from the murderous `60s, by the "Back to What's Real Movement' and the search for personal peace through meditation, yoga and therapy. A must read!
