An American story
by Debra J. Dickerson
"Debra Dickerson's parents were share-croppers who migrated north after World War II. Born in 1959, Dickerson is an amalgam of her background - rural southern conservative and midwestern liberal - and at the same time a contemporary woman whose life has been shaped by the hardscrabble determination of her heritage.".
"In this book Dickerson bears brilliant witness to her rich, tumultuous life: the crippling self-doubt of her adolescence and her belief in education as a way out; her transformation in the U.S. Air Force into a distinguished intelligence officer; her years at Harvard Law School and metamorphosis into a "neurotic attorney with a Gold Card"; and, finally, her current position as a journalist in demand for her refreshing and controversially sane views on social issues."--BOOK JACKET.
