A Clueless Rebel

A Clueless Rebel - This is an hysterical reworking of the author's memoir about growing up in the decades after World War II (Originally titled Ouch, Now I Remember). Infused with great wit and honesty, the story is one that delves deep into how culture both constrains us and yet provides the foundations for growth and development if, that is, one can break through the shackles that bind us. It leaves us with many laughs and a few tears.
