"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Something Red
By Jennifer Gilmore
Publication Date: March 30
From author's Web site:
In Washington D.C. and life inside the Goldstein home is as tumultuous as the shifting landscape of the times. It is 1979 and Benjamin is heading off to college and sixteen-year-old Vanessa is in the throes of a rocky adolescence. Sharon, a caterer for the Washington elite, ventures into a cult-like organization. And Dennis, whose government job takes him often to Moscow, tries to live up to his father’s legacy as a union organizer and community leader.
The rise of communism and the execution of the Rosenbergs is history. The Cold War is waning, the soldiers who fought in Vietnam have all come home, and Carter is president. The age of protest has come and gone and yet each one of the Goldsteins is forced to confront the changes the new decade will bring and explore what it really means to be a radical.
