Unveiling the Prophet: The Misadventures of a Reluctant Debutante Volume 1

The memoir intertwines Lucy Ferriss's personal experiences with regional and national histories, exploring two distinct timelines. One narrative recounts her attendance at an exclusive ball, while the other follows her thirty years later as she returns to St. Louis to seek out key activists from ACTION, a militant civil rights group. This dual perspective highlights the evolution of social movements and personal identity over time, offering a rich exploration of history and activism.
