The daughter and granddaughter of prominent Manhattan lawyers, Meredith McKenzie is destined for the best of everything: top schools, elite social circles, the perfect marriage. Spending her childhood in Germany as her father prosecutes Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg trials, Meredith soaks up the conflict between good and evil as it plays out in real time. When her family returns to the United States, she begins blazing her own trail, swimming against the tides, spurred on by her freethinking liberal grandfather, determined to become a lawyer despite her traditional, conservative father's objections. She rebels against her parents' expectations for her debutante ball and other conventions. She forges a lifelong friendship with a young German Jewish woman whose family died in the concentration camps. And while her grandfather rises to the Supreme Court, Meredith enlists in the most pressing causes of her time, fighting for civil rights and an end to the Vietnam War. From the bright morning of JFK's inauguration, through the tumultuous years that follow as America hurtles toward the twin assassinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, Meredith joins the vanguard of a new generation of women, breaking boundaries socially, politically, and professionally. But when the violence of the era strikes too close to home, her once tightly knit family must survive a devastating loss and rethink their own values and traditions in light of the times. Encompassing the remarkable people Meredith meets, the historic events she witnesses, and the sacrifices she must make, this is the story of a woman changing her world as she herself is changed by it. Beautifully told, brimming with unforgettable moments and characters, The Good Fight is an inspiring, uplifting novel with resonance for our own time"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000859360 650_0 $$aConflict of generations$$vFiction. 000859360 650_0 $$aElite (Social sciences)$$vFiction. 000859360 650_0 $$aFamilies$$vFiction. 000859360 650_0 $$aNineteen sixties$$vFiction. 000859360 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory$$y1961-1969$$vFiction. 000859360 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xSocial conditions$$y1960-1980$$vFiction. 000859360 655_7 $$aRomance fiction.$$2lcgft 000859360 655_7 $$aDomestic fiction.$$2lcgft 000859360 85280 $$bpopro$$hSteel 000859360 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:859360$$pGLOBAL_SET 000859360 980__ $$aBIB 000859360 980__ $$aBOOK
