"Young and self-confident Rosanne is transplanted from her native New York to New England. She has married into the Porter family and with good-natured curiosity she examines her new relatives -- sound New England stock from north of Boston whose reliability and well-being are explained by the family shoe factory founded by 'Gran' Porter in the early days. But their stiff-necked ways are not her ways; and after the first shattering ecstasy of her love for Alec has subsided she decides to do something about it. Too late the Porter family realize what is going to happen; helplessly they stand and watch." Striking but uncredited dust jacket design. . Harcourt, Brace and Company hardcover books

BW-photographic boards with black and white lettering. 144 pp. BW illustrations. "Black Power Flower Power" documents two of the most fascinating stories of 20th century America's cultural history-the growth of the Black Liberation Movement embodied by the Black Panthers and the 1967 blossoming of hippie "flower power" in San Francisco's Haight Ashbury district. Photographers Pirkle Jones and Ruth-Marion Baruch masterfully documented the early days of the Black Panther Party in the San Francisco bay area. This significant movement changed the fabric of the United States. Their photographs profoundly chronicle the influence on American social political and cultural life and suggest the universal theme of family commitment and hope for the future. Ruth-Marion Baruch's photographs of San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury during the Summer of Love in 1967 depicts a Mecca transformed by the psychedelic music fashion and anti-war sentiment of the counterculture movement. -Amazon.
