About the book

The stunning memoir of a white, middle-class girl from Connecticut who became a member of the Weather Underground, one of the most notorious groups of the 1960s. Wilkerson, who famously escaped the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion in 1970, here wrestles with the legacy of the movement, at times finding contradictions that others have avoided. Ever searching for new paradigms of change, the author bravely assesses her own past as well as the heady, iconic times she was witness to.
