The 1960s. Kennedy. Martin Luther King. Civil rights. Viet Nam. Tana Roberts comes of age in this turbulent decade, and begins a journey that will lead her from New York to the South during the heat of racial unrest. A thoroughly modern young woman, she yearns for a career and is willing to sacrifice everything to get it. And it's only much later that Tana discovers that she can have it all. Career. Love. And peace of mind. As she comes of age, at last, and comes full circle.
This book is full of too many disgraceful events. Danielle Still is a great writer and because of it, the story is easy to read. I found very odd that at the end of the book she didn't write anything about Tan’s mother, especially when Tana becomes a mother in her own. I don’t know what to think of this story...
