Doris Colmes takes us along on her wild ride through the white-water torrents that shaped the twentieth century. As an active participant, she was personally and deeply involved: From a rich little German Jewish kid, to learning first-hand about American racsim as a young Holocaust refugee in New York’s Harlem. Then, on to elite Brookline High, to attempted sexual assault by Dad, to college, to date rape, to back-alley abortion – and (whew!) marriage to a nice Jewish boy from a good family...but it doesn’t end here. Some of her adventures were inadvertent (Holocaust, parental abuse), some were fueled by desire. Some hilarious, some sad, some sexy, some scary, some illegal, but all instructive. As the story unfolds, so does the author, both emotionally and spiritually. The lessons learned along the way are passed along to the reader. And particularly now, after 9/11, these lessons are of the utmost importance. They give simple instructions for the survival of this planet that each of us, individually and collectively, can implement.
