It is the story of how he tried to balance a strong desire to live a normal life and raise a family, with a growing need to create something useful out of his nightmare childhood. It is also a poignant account of how, at age forty-three, he finally found a way to honor his parents and also be true to himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Meeropol's captivating memoir deserves a spot on American history bookshelves.” —\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“What is compelling about Robert Meeropol's poignant memoir is his utter honesty in examining the question of whether his parents were guilty of espionage...His story is a personal, anguished search for truth, even while it illuminates a tragic moment in the history of our country.” —\u003ci\u003eHoward Zinn\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Robert Meeropol tells his story in language that is direct, unflinching, meticulous and eloquent.” —\u003ci\u003eAdrenne Rich\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“In this touching memoir, Meeropol's honest and gripping story has never been more relevant than in the present erosion of civil liberties and mistrust of dissent.” —\u003ci\u003eMarge Piercy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Meeropol's work transcends victimization.

It's a deeply moving account, with painfully personal insights, into one of the most controversial cases in American history-- and we must never forget.” —\u003ci\u003eDanny Glover\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I was intrigued by this brilliantly honest memoir in which Robert Meeropol describes his struggle to honor his heritage as the son of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg while striving to create his own identity. He writes powerfully of his childhood years of self muting, his adult years of self searching. And he writes with a lawyer's acumen on the question of his parents' guilt or innocence of the crime for which they were executed.” —\u003ci\u003eE.L.
