The Change Chronicles: A Novel of the Sixties Antiwar Movement (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781647137571)

Amid the budding antiwar and feminest movements at Berkeley in the late 1960s, young Nora searches for new, more generous ways to love and peace. Joining the nonviolent vigil at the gates of Port Chicago, shipping point for weapons to the Vietnam War, she comes to love Ted, a vigil leader. On the night Ted risks his life to stop an onrushing weapons truck, Nora breaks through old fears and risks all, even the child she bears, to reach him--and to discover her own depths of love. Then she must confront another challenge--society's belief that, as a woman alone, she should relinquish her baby.
