Framing this collision are two other generations. There is Rose's mother from the shtetl, a broken woman regularly beaten by her husband but the source of the family's stories. And Kim's daughter, a second-generation, fully assimilated girl of eight at the time the book begins. Four generations, from the shtetl to an affluent intellectual household in Berkeley, California, the story is a historical record and reckoning between the old activist left and a beginning feminist movement. The double narrative allows Kim to explore the evolving relationship between mother and daughter, who, through their storytelling, are brought to a profound understanding and reconciliation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKim Chernin, PhD, has won acclaim for her numerous works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, including \u003ci\u003eA Different Kind of Listening, My Life as a Boy, T\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cem\u003ehe Obsession, In My Mother's House\u003c\/em\u003e (nominated for Chronicle Critics Award and chosen as Alice Walker's Favorite Book of the Year in the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, 1983\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Flame Bearers\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Notable Book, 1986), and the national best seller \u003cem\u003eThe Hungry Self\u003c\/em\u003e.
