Imagined Truths

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator. Richard Lemm grew up in 1950s Seattle, moving to Canada in 1967 to avoid the draft. Now, more than fifty years later, he turns his lens inward, focusing on what he believed to be true about his family and society at the time, how that perception has evolved and how the stories we tell ourselves inform our personal, cultural and national identities.
A rewarding mixture of personal recollection and social commentary, this is a story about growing up in a family and country you didn’t choose and coming of age in the country and with the people you did.
