c2012., Adult, Tightrope Books Call No: Bio B531h Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Tumbling into adulthood as the world falls into post 9-11 madness, Samantha Bernstein vividly depicts a generation raised in the ruins of Baby Boomer idealism. The daughter of a hippie mom ground down by life in a relentless film industry, and an absent, famous poet father, Samantha enters her twenties outraged by the legacies of her predecessors. In emails chronicling five years, she writes toward a vision that reconciles history with the possibility of an ethical and hopeful future. Creating collectives that are at once joyous and politically engaged, the characters in this memoir accept loss, acknowledge fear, and fight cynicism. Exultant and poignant, caustic and tender, Here We Are Among the Living invites readers to look carefully at the world -- to believe the choices we make matter, and that to love is the most important choice of all."--Provided by publisher.
