We come from all walks of life. A Broadway actress writes alongside a woman who represents the first generation to grow up without the veil in Pakistan. The daughter of a Nazi soldier evokes a fatherless early childhood along side a woman whose mother was lost in the Holocaust. One woman tells of joining a group of violent revolutionaries when she was young, in an effort to undo the ills of her privileged family of origin. Another tells of how a racially inherited illness helped her reclaim her Native American roots.
