This book was an intriguing read. The author goes into great detail describing his early childhood on the run from the law as his mother was seen as an outlaw, a terrorist as she was resisting the "American " lifestyle and instead fighting for a life of equality in a country so divided. This is a great lesson for anyone unaware of this country's views in the 60s, 70s and 80s and just how archaic things were. The author does an amazing job of bringing this story to life and you can tell he has really done his research into his parents' history.
