From the back cover
‘The purpose of this memoir is to share with my children some memories of my boyhood and young adult life, and then talk about what was going on with their father during our life together as a family in the decades of the fifties and sixties in Athens, Georgia, Ithaca, New York, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is also to answer a question put to me by one of my colleagues on the Ministries Committee of the Ohio Valley Presbytery about why I seemed to care so much about social justice and why I asked the candidates who came before us about how faith and ethics were liked in their lives.’
— William Rogers, 2007
