❞ With her keen eye for contradictions, Meredith Maran finds our new realities in surprising on a racquetball court facing an unyielding female opponent; before a classroom of high school students, openly discussing her bisexuality; in a courtroom during a sexual abuse trial. Through her singular experiences she illuminates the issues millions of women confront her thorny relationship with her mother; the politics of flirting; the struggle to raise caring, responsible children in the face of racism and violence. This is writing we need -alive with humor and emotion and totally engaged with the life of our times.. ❝ ⏤ميريديث ماران
