Passport to the World - by Linda Klein Means (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Race, prejudice, unconscious or otherwise, family ties and family history, including some surprises in this era of DNA tracing, women in prison, how and why they got there, and dealing with familial disabilities are some of the topics covered in this compelling series of mini-memoirs. Linda Klein Means, a former reporter for The Chicago Tribune and US News and World Report, has traveled the world, lived in three countries and learned three foreign languages--and she writes with humor and insight about each of the countries she lived in. Travel with her from her humble rural beginnings in Hinckley Illinois as her Passport to the World leads her to eye-opening experiences, both literal and intellectual.
