Book Synopsis
A memoir of Mary Ann Caws which recounts a life of passionate engagement.

It also describes her education at Bryn Mawr, in Paris, and at Yale - where she weds a professor of philosophy.

Trade Review
Caws traces a continuum of relish and regret encompassing emotional states such as joy, fear, angst, and anger, but at the same time acknowledges the power of imagination in shaping her personal and professional life. [She] traces the process whereby she acquired her personal and academic voice despite an emotionally absent father, a husband who considered his career more important than hers, and a stiflingly sexist southern society. - ANQ
