While the romantic narrator imagines a bucolic future in an old country house with children running through the dappled sunlight, her husband plots to organize a revolution and fight a guerrilla war in the Catskills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir fantasies are on a collision course.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe clash of visions turns into an inner war of identities when the author embraces radical feminism; she and her husband are comrades in revolution but combatants in marriage; she is a woman warrior who spends her days sewing long silk dresses reminiscent of a Henry James novel. One half of her isn't speaking to the other half.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd then, just when it seems that things cannot possibly get more explosive, her wilderness cabin burns down and Pamela finds herself left with only the clothes on her back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom her vividly evoked existential childhood (\"the only way I would know for sure that I existed was if others—lots of others—acknowledged it\") to writing her first children's book on a sugar high during a glucose tolerance test, Pamela Jane takes the reader along on a highly entertaining personal, political, and psychological adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081079111920,"sku":"2940152467475","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940152467475_p0.jpg?v=1764020957","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940152467475","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
