Women - In Search of Themselves. Mira, Val, Kyla, and their friends meet in 1968 at Harvard. Raised in the obedient conformity of the respectable fifties, they rebel against the rigid conventions imposed on them by upbringing and society. Each of them must choose their path when it comes to deciding between family or career, facing challenges and problems, or fighting for their rights. And as they leave behind their existence as wives, homemakers, and mothers for various reasons, the search for their own lives truly begins. A book that changes lives.
