This is the autobiography of a woman whose exceptional social conscience and actions are an example of the influence one person can have on society without being in a lofty political position.
As a young woman, Dorothy Sterling's concern for working people in America led her to the Communist Party in the 1930s, a refuge for many with noble intentions. In the 1950s, her concern for the plight of African Americans led her to integrate her own community of Rye, New York. She went on to become one of the most prolific authors of works of African American History, first for young readers with books such as Mary Jane, the first book about a young black girl growing up in the South. Later works for adults were equally important and influential. Sterling's fascination and concern for the environment led her to write a wonderful natural history guide to Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Long Island, and the Islands in between.
Still active at 90, her most recent triumph was to open her own road to oystermen, whose access to local salt flats had been denied by wealthy summer residents.
