This stirring study situates one of the most subversive yet profoundly American of social movements at the heart of the nation's history. ![]()

Home Is Burning by Dan Marshall About the Book Dan's mom has always had cancer. But he left and his memories evoke a time that may have passed but which we all remember. Had Dan never moved away, the anger which is part of growing up as an outsider here might have dissipated at least in part. Dan goes home, and the ensuing tale of fart jokes, profanity and death, laced with hilarity and howling pain, is raw, honest and profound.

Her big boisterous family gleefully followed her example. Her stratagem for coping with disapproving neighbors? Open all the windows and drop among many other expletives, the f-bomb-at the top of her voice. ![]() ![]() ![]() She was, however, fierce, to put it mildly.
