What is Rebel Mother : My Childhood Chasing the Revolution about?

“Those who enjoyed Jeannette Walls’s *The Glass Castle *will find much to admire” (*Booklist*, starred review) in this “thoroughly engrossing” (*The New York Times Book Review*) memoir about a boy on the run with his mother, as she abducts him to Latin America in search of the revolution.Carol Andreas was a traditional 1950s housewife from a small Mennonite town in central Kansas who became a radical feminist and Marxist revolutionary. From the late sixties to the early eighties, she went through multiple husbands and countless lovers while living in three states and five countries. She took her youngest son, Peter, with her wherever she went, even kidnapping him and running off to South America after his straitlaced father won a long and bitter custody fight.They were chasing the revolution together, though the more they chased it the more distant it became. They battled the bad “isms” (sexism, imperialism, capitalism, fascism, consumerism), and fought for the good “isms” (feminism, socialism, communism, egalitarianism). Between the ages of five and eleven, Peter lived in more than a dozen homes, moving from the comfortably bland suburbs of Detroit to a hippie commune in Berkeley
