Extraordinary!! Behind the scenes of government in the 1960s. It’s a memoir, political history, and love story of the Goodwins and the US in a decade of turmoil, violence, ground breaking Civil rights legislation, and the Vietnam War!

Once again Ms Lee gives insight to the uncomfortable way the Chinese population has been treated by the USA. Tragic and refreshing May and Gemma Chow investigate the murder of a friend. It’s a book for everyone, young or old!
