Non-Fiction Memoir
At the height of the feminist movement Terry Martin Hekker's
book, EVER SINCE ADAM AND EVE, served as a counterpoint as
she trumpeted the joys of motherhood and homemaking. Critics
hailed it as "often profound and always hilarious . . . a
warm and realistic view of womanhood." They said, "the fact
that she framed her message in laughter does not lessen the
depth of her vision." Publisher's Weekly called it "a gem." Decades later Terry's unforeseen divorce and subsequent
reawakening has resulted in a more forceful story, asking
readers to 'disregard' that first anachronistic book. This
follow-up offers the same mixture of wit and wisdom as she
tackles issues of an aging generation who lived through the
cataclysmic changes fostered by the feminist and sexual
revolutions. Young women facing decisions about marriage and
careers will be guided by her cautionary tale. And older men
and women will enjoy her amusing odyssey of hope and love
punctuated by uproarious anecdotes about her big Irish family.
