As an admirer of Drew Faust and her work, I was eager to jump into this memoir, which is getting lots of good press. I learned much about her background, and I'm even more impressed with her. I was disappointed that it ended with the 1960s, as I would have been especially interested to read about her life and work in academia. Maybe there will be another volume. I appreciated the way that she turns an historian's eye on her own story, and I was inspired by her use of her old family letters. As I process my own, I would be interested in her approach.
