If you are interested in activism, the Puerto Rican independence and Black Power movements, supporting political prisoners, the reality of supporting people in prison, or reading women's semi-autobiographical works, you should read this book. It is so good.

This read more like a collection of interconnected stories, which provided an opportunity to explore a range of perspectives on activism, organizing, and different kinds of roles and relationships to liberation struggles in the U.S. The stories, all told from women's points of view, look at ways that the movements of the 60's and 70's transformed people's lives, whether they remained involved or not. And we see all of the women remain connected by their beliefs, by their actions, and also by their connections to a new generation. And despite the challenges and losses, the story ends hopefully, imagining a future transformed by direct action.

Excellent book. Nice to read something about activists going underground from someone who actually has some knowledge about, and personal experience of, different movements. Well written and engaging.

One of the best political novels I have ever read. I will read it again.
