Shrug
It's Berkeley in the 1960s, and Martha Goldenthal's home life is a cauldron of kooky ideas, impossible demands, and explosive physical violence. Can she overcome her obstacles and make it to college? Shrug is the absorbing, harrowing, and ultimately uplifting story of one young woman’s journey toward independence.
“As persuasive as the memoirs Educated and The Glass Castle, Shrug yanks at the heartstrings . . . I felt white-knuckled empathy for the tough and fragile Martha.” — Carolyn McVickar Edwards, author of Return of the Light and The Storyteller's Goddess
“A book that slowly creeps up on you before grabbing you by the throat and
demanding that you pay attention . . . I highly recommend this read.”
— Grant Leishman, Readers’ Favorite
"Rich with colorful characters, vivid descriptions, and subtle insights . . . Moss’s graceful prose brings you along on this poignant coming-of-age journey with pathos and humor.” — Rifka Kreiter, author of Home Free: Adventures of a Child of the Sixties
