We are all born into history, not only the history of our country, but of our own families. The hopes and dreams, the fears and frustrations of our forebears thread their way through the generations, shaping in profound and unpredictable ways who we are. The trouble is, most of us don’t really know much about the stories of those who went before us. In an effort to understand his parents and his contentious relationship with them, the author set about to discover their stories and the stories of their parents and grandparents.
A moving biography of two people who overcame incredible personal hardships and whose long lives spanned the 20th century. They came of age during the emergence of the American middle class as people moved from small towns and farms into cities. This social movement accounted in large part for who they wanted to be and in fact became. They aspired to the American dream, and they achieved it, but at an expense they never really fully understood.
