Dust

<p><strong>In this Boomer memoir Driving Miss Daisy meets One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. With lilting eloquence Summer Brenner captures the tumultuous fifties and sixties of a genteel Jewish family in Atlanta with the South's oppressive segregation and anti-Semitism. The family drama is fraught: the brother is a schizophrenic the mother a Gucci-clad Medusa and the father a suicide. After extensive travels Brenner frees herself in the Bay Area to become more beatnik than debutante. Framed by historic events this is the moving coming-of-age story of a generation.</strong></p>
