Title: Survival, and Triumph
Product review: This is a riveting account of a child struggling to understand her place in the world. As a "movement child" of two loving parents, Rebecca knew who she was and owned her beauty. After he parents' divorce, she lost that identity and began a struggle to overcome the identity assigned to her in the communities she bounced between while growing up in a cross-country joint custody journey. She chronicles the colorless love of those who stood by her throughout it all, and evidences the racial discrimination that most White Americans today deny. She is a virbrant voice for all women who came of age before aids, in the early eighties when sexual expectations were extreme. She paints a rich portrait of the spiritual effort to bridge cultures between her Jewish father's affluent world, and the inner-city world she lived in with her mother. Not only will this book be valuable to anyone interested in cultural diversity, but it is a tribute to all of us who have fought to find ourselvs.
