As a little girl growing up in small-town Michigan, Dorothy M. Kennedy had the kind of idyllic childhood we only seem to read about in books, filled with Saturday afternoon trips to the local movie house for Donald Duck cartoons and newsreels, Campfire Girls rituals and vacation Bible school every summer.As her tranquil childhood gives way to marriage, motherhood and career and Dorothy navigates the changing roles for girls and women throughout the staid fifties, tumultuous sixties and beyond, she finds she's unprepared for the shifting landscape of her own home front.This memoir charts the journey of a woman who thought she knew exactly the direction her life was headed, only to find the detours were the sweetest surprise of all.
