Description
A shrewd and discerning storyteller, Schwartz captures history from her vantage as a kid of German-Jewish immigrants, a wife of over fifty years, a breast cancer survivor, a working mother, a traveler, a tennis player, a daughter, and a widow. In adding her personal story to the bigger narrative of history, culture, and politics, Schwartz invites readers to believe her personal take alongside “official” histories and provides readers fresh assessments of our collective past.
