Sobre IBD

The Plaid Robe is a memoir of a girl who transitions from bliss innocence to austere realism. The upheavals of the sixties merge with her journey from an innocent fifties childhood. Step back for a nostalgic jaunt to air raid drills, summer evenings playing red light, hairnets, stockings with seams, gloomy hospitals and polio. As the tale weaves into her adulthood, see her struggling with God, her marriage, and the complexity of the times.
