Summary
"The daughter and granddaughter of prominent Manhattan lawyers, Meredith McKenzie is destined for the best of everything: top schools, elite social circles, the perfect marriage. Spending her childhood in Germany as her father prosecutes Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg trials, Meredith soaks up the conflict between good and evil as it plays out in real time. When her family returns to the United States, she begins blazing her own trail, swimming against the tides, spurred on by her freethinking liberal grandfather, determined to become a lawyer despite her traditional, conservative father's objections. She forges a lifelong friendship with a young German Jewish woman whose family died in the concentration camps. And while her grandfather rises to the Supreme Court, Meredith enlists in the most pressing causes of her time, fighting for civil rights and an end to the Vietnam War. From the bright morning of JFK's inauguration, through the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, Meredith joins the vanguard of a new generation of women, breaking boundaries socially, politically, and professionally. But when the violence of the era strikes too close to home, her once tightly knit family must survive a devastating loss, and rethink their own values and traditions in light of the times." -, edited and abridged synopsis from goodreads.com"La justice est un combat de chaque instant... Fille et petite-fille d'éminents avocats de Manhattan, tout prédestine Meredith McKenzie à suivre la voie tracée par ses ancêtres : de brillantes études, un mariage parfait, une vie au sein des élites. Mais, éprise de justice et de liberté, c'est pour les minorités et les plus démunis qu'elle veut se battre. Un choix que ne comprennent pas les siens, bien décidés à la faire retourner dans le droit chemin. Tandis que son grand-père accède à la Cour suprême, Merrie s'engage dans les causes les plus pressantes de son époque, luttant pour les droits civiques et la fin de la guerre du Vietnam. Mais lorsque la violence frappe sa propre famille de plein fouet, tous doivent apprendre à survivre à une perte dévastatrice et repenser leurs valeurs ... " - back cover
