Summer of '42

 


My high school library had a copy of Raucher's Summer of '42 and kept it behind the desk. If you wanted to check it out, you had to ask one of the librarians for it.

I'm not sure if they were restricting access to the book to students they thought could handle the material or if they just didn't want anyone to steal it.
Whatever the case, we had it. And I read it.
How distant those times feel today.

Danai Gurira

  I don't know all of Danai Gurira's story but what I do know is every bit what America is about when it's functioning properly....
