Getting to Here

It's a story that is lusty and enlightening, infuriating and inspiring.
It's about a gifted girl who won't shut up about what is wrong with schools, who then goes on to do something about it.
It's about a girl of the era of Women's Lib, who fights for its new freedoms and embraces them with gusto.
It's about a girl who falls in love with a much older man and whose romance of four decades breaks the rules and builds a legacy.
It's about a girl who never suffers fools gladly, and the pain that brings.
