Cross Currents: A Memoir

By Rose Ann Findlen

Refusing to quiet her mind and spirit, a girl growing up on a Missouri farm struggles to break free from role expectations of the 1950's but continues to feel ambivalent about the pull of those roots. As she navigates the tumultuous social upheaval of the 60's, her journey takes her across America, to bohemian Paris, to conflict-fractured college campuses and to an Army base in Germany during the Viet Nam War. Vivid details of her lonely journey will grab you as you accompany her on an unconventional educational path, a disastrous marriage, encounters with men in work and love, and raising a daughter. A story of prevailing over forces aimed at keeping her down.
