Gildiner writes a completely readable account of her early life. I very much enjoyed "Too Close to the Falls"; and "After the Falls", while darker, was still captivating. Like reading Forest Gump, she seemed to be everywhere anything was happening in the 60s. I don't think, had we been classmates, we would have gotten along, but I really enjoyed looking over her shoulder at her madcap life in the 60s.
