came after will experience here the boiling forces of those amazing times.
In the United States life boiled over in the late sixties and early seventies.
Those who were there will never forget.
In the autumn of 1968, Amy St. Claire, a young, disenchanted housewife
believed that enrolling in graduate school would enliven her banal
existence. She had no inkling that the tides of history were about to remold
her into what would later be called a liberated woman.
That same autumn, Matthew Boyer was just back from the war in Viet Nam.
While bearing his inner turmoil and trying to build an academic career, he
struggled to adopt a wounded child he saved from a horrific firefight.
With surprising outcomes Amy and Matthew's friendship carries them
through those several turbulent years, producing two entirely new
American personality types, born from war and social revolution. In this
compelling account of two lives intertwining, at first in need and then in
love, we witness the painful but often joyous transition of the Baby Boom
Generation from its innocent beginnings to the changed world we know
today.
