"What was it really like to grow up in the 1950s and 60s during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the assassinations of the Kennedys and Martin Luther King, Jr., the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War protests, and the spread of drugs and easy birth control among white middle-class youth? What was it like to attend Woodstock, explore the influence of New Age mysticism, and experience the changes among families and relationships as second-wave feminism began to percolate through society in the 1970s? Thompson-Slaughter movingly and often humorously illustrates these topics and more in her collected memoir essays that chart one of the most explosive and rapidly changing periods of modern U.S. history."
