Produktbeschreibung
Farewell to South Shore taps into and articulates a woman's emotions related to dealing with a changing society, particularly its expectations of women. Farewell to South Shore creates an instant rapport between the main character and the reader who has experienced change in her own life. It explores the sadness of dealing with divorce, single motherhood, a friend's abortion, a beloved cousin suffering from AIDS, changing mores, and the joys resulting from a loving family, rewarding career, finding new love in middle age, and making the world a better place. The book inspires perseverance and determination to help take charge of one's own life in a rapidly changing world-a world vastly different than the idyllic South Shore of the main character's youth.
Autorenporträt
We Won't Go Back, the second book of Charlene Wexler's Farewell to South Shore series, is the story of Babs, who lived a pleasant life in a northern suburb of Chicago, devoting her time to her husband and two teen daughters. When the Supreme Court signals that it is going to overturn Roe v. Wade, Babs' life changes as she reunites with her late mother's fellow activists from the 1970s to take up the fight for women's rights once again. But family matters continue to intervene-a close relative's death, meeting a previously unknown half-brother, an unplanned pregnancy, and a nostalgic great aunt who wants her 100th birthday party to be a pilgrimage to the now-downtrodden South Shore community. Through it all comes a determination that We Won't Go Back to a time when women lacked basic rights.
