From theNew York Timesbestselling author ofLet's Take the Long Way Homecomes a moving memoir about how the women's movement revolutionized and saved her life, from the 1960s to the #MeToo era.
In a voice as candid as it is evocative, Gail Caldwell traces a path from her west Texas girlhood through her emergence as a young daredevil, then as a feminist—a journey that personified seismic shifts in the culture itself. Her travels took her to California and Mexico and dark country roads, and the dangers she encountered were rivaled only by the personal demons she faced.Bright Precious Thingis the captivating story of a young woman's odyssey, her search for adventure giving way to something more profound: the evolution of a writer and a woman.
Told against a contrasting backdrop of the present day, including the author's friendship with a young neighborhood girl,Bright Precious Thingunfolds with the same heart and narrative grace of Caldwell's earlier work. It is a book about finding, then protecting, what we cherish most.
