Praise for this book
"Lerner has produced a grand and beautiful work, well organized in clean, lovely prose....With scrupulous scholarship and deep humanity, Lerner details her life as a helpless outsider--as well as her family relations and intellectual development.... In a world where accuracy and emotional honesty are often deplorably absent. "Fireweed is a rare and valuable contribution."
