More about the book
The narrative explores the complex dynamics between a politically active mother, Rose, and her poet daughter, Kim, set against the backdrop of their family's rich history spanning four generations. It contrasts Rose's traumatic upbringing in the shtetl with Kim's modern, assimilated life in Berkeley. Through their shared stories, the two women navigate their differing ideologies—activism versus spirituality—ultimately leading to a deeper understanding and reconciliation. This journey reflects the broader tensions between the old activist left and the emerging feminist movement.
