About this product
| Product Information | |
| Joshua Safran's childhood was spent traveling with his flower-child mother as she tried to establish a personal utopia off the grid. Along the way, Joshua found himself living in a series of makeshift homes, his situation worsening when his mother married a violent, alcoholic Salvadoran rebel/poet who abuses them both. Safran eventually reenters society by attending school, which proves difficult and confusing; swearing like a sailor, reading encyclopedias, and discussing Marxist theory, he is bullied, ostracized, and sometimes beaten by his classmates. Filled with vivid pictures of the crazy world Safran inhabits as a child and streaked with wry wit, Free Spirit also describes Safran's profound journey of the spirit. He eventually summons the courage to fight back against the bullies who torment him, and to help his mother find refuge in a utopian commune by the Canadian border. The book also explores Safran's spiritual rebirth and reconnection with his Jewish roots, as well as his legal work on behalf of women who suffer from domestic violence. Like major bestsellers such as The Glass Castle , This Boy's Life , and Running with Scissors , Free Spirit is at once a portrait of a unique upbringing and a testament to the power of overcoming adversity. | |
