About This Book
When 25-year-old Jenny Shimada steps out of the Rhinecliff train station
in New York's Hudson Valley, the last person she expects to see is Rob
Frazer, a shadowy figure from her previous life. On the lam for an act
of violence against the American government, Jenny agrees to take on the
job of caring for three younger fugitives whom Frazer has spirited out
of California. One of them, the granddaughter of a wealthy newspaper
magnate in San Francisco, has become a national celebrity. Kidnapped by
a homegrown revolutionary group, Pauline shocked America when she
embraced her captors' ideology, denouncing family and class to enlist in
their radical cell.
American Woman unfolds the story of Jenny and her charges -- Pauline,
Juan, and Yvonne, the remains of the busted revolutionary cadre -- as
they pursue their destinies from an old farmhouse in upstate New York
back to California. Provocative, suspenseful, and often wickedly comic,
the novel explores the psychology of the young radicals -- outsiders all
-- as isolation and paranoia inevitably undermine their ideals. American
Woman is a tour de force with chilling resonance for readers today.
