Do We Change Or Does The World Change Us? Jo And Bethie Kaufman Were Born Into A World Full Of Promise. Growing Up In 1950s Detroit, They Live In A Perfect âdick And Janeâ House, Where Their Roles In The Family Are Clearly Defined. Jo Is The Tomboy, The Bookish Rebel With A Passion To Make The World More Fair; Bethie Is The Pretty, Feminine Good Girl, A Would-be Star Who Enjoys The Power Her Beauty Confers And Dreams Of A Traditional Life. But The Truth Ends Up Looking Different From What The Girls Imagined. Jo And Bethie Survive Traumas And Tragedies. As Their Lives Unfold Against The Background Of Free Love And Vietnam, Woodstock And Womenâs Lib, Bethie Becomes An Adventure-loving Wild Child Who Dives Headlong Into The Counterculture And Is Up For Anything (except Settling Down). Meanwhile, Jo Becomes A Proper Young Mother In Connecticut, A Witness To The Changing World Instead Of A Participant.
