Seller's Description:
Good in Good jacket. Book Octavo, hardcover, note on inside cover, ex library copy, good reading copy in good black pictorial dj. 426 pp. A wonderful book of inspiration and tenacity: At the tender age of twelve, Bessie is exiled to Siberia because of her brothers' anti-czarist activities. At twenty-five, she loses her husband and baby girl to the ravages of civil war in revolutionary Russia. At forty, she faces down Nazi hoodlums as she tries to disrupt a pro-Hitler rally in Madison Square Garden. At fifty-five, she is driven to an underground life by McCarthyite persecution and rejection by her own son. At sixty-two, she squares off against racists during civil rights campaigns in the South--and nearly loses the loyalty of her beloved daughter. At eighty-eight, Bessie is still making trouble and still making jokes. Bessie is more than a survivor--she's a winner, for her spirits are never dampened, her humor never fails, and her faith in human love and potential is never shaken, however long it might take for her dreams of a better world to become real.

This should have been touted as Fiction. And not a very good fiction at that! What it amounts to (IMHO) is a thinly disguised piece of propaganda for the communist Party.
I struggled thru the first half before deciding that I wouldn't/couldn't finish it.
